I believe if you can share 10 of the best rums in the world (and a cocktail) to benefit children with neuromuscular diseases and developmental delays along with their families, then this was a tasting worth donating and that is what I did...
Ten of the finest rums available from around the world have been selected. This one-of-a-kind tasting is to take place in a breathtaking Capital Hill condo with sweeping views of downtown Seattle. The evening includes complimentary valet parking by Butler Valet, catered food by Mojito and a personally guided discussion through each of these world-class rums for 15 guests. If you have been to any of The Rum Collective's many educational events, you would know a greeting cocktail is compulsory. For this tasting, such a cocktail will be served as well. What to choose? A cocktail to begin an evening indulging in some of the most remarkable rums in the world must be of comparable quality. This cocktail, featuring Papa's Pilar Blonde Rum, is the perfect choice (see photo below).
May I interest you a Hemingway Daiquiri?
Rest assured, it's made with only the finest ingredients...

All of the rums selected for the tasting were chosen by the following order of criteria: quality, geographic representation and style, and availability in Washington State. Also, the rum must be donated by the brand. Well, guess what? "Big (and small) Rum" just gave back!! The list of rums in the tasting will include: Clement X.O. of Martinique, Brugal 1888 of the Dominican Republic, Mount Gay 1703 of Barbados and Angostura 1824 of Trinidad (see earlier photo). The other six selections in the tasting represent some of the most eminent rums out of Spain, Panama, France, Venezuela, Guatemala and Puerto Rico and are Ron Navazos Palazzi, Ron Abuelo Centuria, Plantation 20th Anniversary, Ron Diplomatico Ambassador, Ron Zacapa XO and DonQ Gran Anejo respectively. This intimate, guided educational experience will feature these rums in a select order and presented in snifters donated by Liberty Bar.
Behold some more of the most prized rums on the planet.

The donated tasting was part of the live auction portion of the Gala. The bidding prices began at $500 and escalated rapidly. The tasting sold for $1600!! The winning bidder of the live auction was announced on stage and provided with a celebratory glass of Brugal 1888 to mark the occasion. Yum!!
"Proceeds will provide direct services, such as therapies, special education preschool classes, medical consultations, and family resources for the 750+ children and families Boyer Children's Clinic serves each year."
A sincere thank you to the owners of the condo, Butler Valet, Mojito, Liberty Bar and each of the brands who donated their product to create a first-rate rum tasting to benefit Boyer Children's Clinic!!
CHEERS!!!
Great post for tasting run with a positive motive to help ill children, i am aware Abuelo is one of the most priced run the world. I like the initiative behind this run tasting.
ReplyDeleteThe holiday season commenced with a unique blend: kindness intertwined with rum. Responding to a friend's request, I contributed a rum tasting to support children and families facing neuromuscular disorders and developmental delays through the Boyer Children's Clinic Board of Directors. It's a reminder of the power of meaningful actions for a noble cause. Today I was searching PhD writing services who can write my PhD assignment with full creative.
ReplyDeleteI really appreciate people who use their passions to help others. Speaking of relaxing, I've been spending my downtime lately just chilling with Tiny Fishing. It's surprisingly meditative, especially when you get those gear upgrades and finally snag one of those super rare, elusive fish. There's something so satisfying about the patience paying off. It's a nice way to unwind after a busy day. I was curious, for these types of high-end tastings, do guests typically have a preferred order they like to sample the different rums?
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like such an interesting event! I really enjoyed reading about the rum tasting and auction, especially the idea of bringing people together to appreciate different varieties while supporting a special occasion. Events like this can make even a familiar drink feel much more interesting by highlighting its history, character, and craftsmanship. Between discovering new experiences, keeping up with Business Development Assignment Help UK, and managing everyday responsibilities, it’s always nice to come across something that offers a little change of pace. Thanks for sharing this—it was a fun and interesting read!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading about this world-class rum tasting, especially the idea of bringing together such a varied selection of rums in one experience. The connection between tasting, collecting and learning more about different styles makes the event sound quite interesting for anyone curious about rum. Critical Analysis Help also came up while browsing Native Assignment Help UK, and I liked how the article gives attention to the details behind the tasting rather than simply focusing on the drinks themselves. The auction element adds another interesting layer to the event, making this a fun read for anyone interested in spirits and food culture.
