Ian Burrell & TheRumLab.com are proud to celebrate the 2nd Miami Rum Congress. The boutique style event will showcase a handful of brands that emphasis on the education and premiumization of the rum category. The rum congress will be at the Shane Center (6500 Indian Creek Dr, Miami Beach, FL 33141)
The USA is considered one of the most important countries for the entire rum industry. Before the American Revolution, rum was the most consumed spirit, and now an awakening is occurring.
