Join me on The Global Glug as I sit down with Magdalena Reszke, the passionate brand ambassador for The Colours of Rum, an independent rum bottler based in Poland. In this episode, Magdalena takes us on a journey through the fascinating world of rum, sharing her insights on everything from the challenges of independent bottling to the growing popularity of high ester rums.
Discover how The Colours of Rum transitioned from whiskey to rum, and learn about the meticulous process of sourcing and bottling single cask rums from distilleries around the world. Magdalena also discusses the complexities of entering the U.S. market, the rise of high ester rums, and the future of the rum industry.
Tune in to hear Magdalena’s top rum picks from The Colours of Rum, her thoughts on rum education, and why she believes the future of rum is brighter than ever.
