Tonight's tasting is sold out, but we have another rum cracker coming up at the end of the month.
You may have spotted the House of Rum bottles at the top centre on the back shelf at Milk; they are there for a good reason. They are delicious, single bottlings, single vintage, hand-selected, limited editions, one-of-one. It's good stuff! You can try them on the 30th of September alongside some other remarkable rums from around the globe. This is will be a great tasting if you're just getting into rum or are already a massive nerd.
Includes a free cocktail.

Jim is back tonight for a Trip back to the 60s. All the swinging hits from the decade that changed pop music forever.

One of the biggest names in the rum game. Diplomático is ubiquitous with premium rum; it's the gateway rum for many of us. It is undeniably very tasty gear; also, chocolate is pretty good too! The two together should be pretty bloomin amazing. Come down to try the whole diplo range. Plus, a cocktail on entry. This tasting is very likely to sell out; get a ticket now to avoid disappointment. Link in bio
