The Rum Trader began on BlogSpot back on August 27, 2008 with the following post:

So, this blog will focus on my RUM obsession and all of the fun things that surround RUM including TIKI, travel, 50s & 60s culture, Exotica, lounge music, etc. So on with the fun.

Now we’ve moved to our own site so that The Rum Trader can regularly bring you the best news, cocktails & recipes, and reviews from the world of RUM.
