Myself and The Speakeasy Podcast co-host Greg Benson were both in New Orleans last week at the Tales of the Cocktail festival, and so were Alexandre Gabriel, master distiller and blender at Maison Ferrand & Planteray rum, plus Matt Pietrek, spirits author & publisher, who lives in the Crescent City.
AND Alexandre and Matt had just published (with Matt's WonkPress company) "The Rum Never Sets: A History of Naval Rum", so we all decided to get in the pool (where else to tape a podcast about naval rum?!) and talk about Mr Fogg, Alexandre's journey from being a cognac distiller to a rum blender, naval rum, historical research, and a whole lot more - enjoy!
Oh, and we drank Mr Fogg Navy Rum, the latest Planteray rum that pays homage to Michael Fogg, who you will learn about in the podcast, and the book, and HERE: https://planterayrum.com/limited-edition/mister-fogg-navy-rum/
Oh, and HERE the link if you'd like to WATCH this - yep, we recorded video! Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uI975RFZXxI

They need to be able to hang.
