In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Ivar De Laat, the passionate mind behind Rum Revelations. We talked about his journey from the Netherlands to Canada, how he got into the rum world, and what led him to become one of the most honest voices in rum criticism today.
We dove deep into topics like the impact of sugar in rum, the evolution of the industry, his travels to distilleries in places like Barbados and Mauritius, and his candid thoughts on Colombian rum. Ivar’s insights are sharp, genuine, and eye-opening—perfect for anyone who loves rum beyond the glass.
