Review of Rum Tasting-Simba Restaurant

The night of tasting some great rums and amazing food was a smash hit with all those who attended.
The crowd was welcomed with a Bacardi Mojito while mingling at the bar.
After everybody was seated they were treated to a brief lecture by "The Rumelier" about rum and it's place in the Caribbean. Also details of how sugarcane becomes one of the world's favourite spirits was explained. While the crowd was learning about rum, they were given the chance to smell some of the ingredients and flavours that make up the noble spirit with a sniff of a rum tasting kit.
After the brief lecture the tasting began with Bacardi 8 Year Old. This was closely followed by the first course, lobster ceviche.
The night progressed with more premium rums from throughout the Caribbean paired up perfectly with outstanding food courses from the various islands. This included, snapper, ribs, and lamb with things like creole and pepper sauce.
After all the thanks were given a brief survey of which were the favourite rums of the night was taken, and here are the results:-

1 Ron Zacapa 23 Year Old - Guatemala

2 Bacardi 8 Year Old - Bahamas

3 Appleton Master Blender Legacy - Jamaica

4 Admiral Rodney - ST. Lucia

5 Barbancourt Reserve 15 Year Old - Haiti

6 Mount Gay Extra Old - Barbados


After the brief survey everyone retired to the bar where cigars were available and more rum if neccessary.
