Description

Welcome to the Tiki Easy Bar Rum Club, Asheville’s first-ever Rum Club! Our deep appreciation for rum is a huge reason why we opened Tiki Easy in the first place and it’s time that we share some of our premium, rare, historic, and near-extinct rums and what we’ve learned about the craft of distilling sugarcane that has been around since the 1600s. We are constantly working to source and provide the best rum selection in North Carolina, and want to share it at a discount with both rum enthusiasts and rum novices alike!

 

This month's session taking place Sunday, December 1st will be: Antique European Rum Tasting and Independent Bottler Discussion (Individual Session Cost $50)

 

Topic: Some of the best rums in the world weren’t distilled and aged by the same distiller on the same property. The rum world has always had private bottling companies that source rum and transport it around the world to age. Along with a discussion of this practice and some excellent bottlers, we will sample antique examples including Ancora Rhum Vieux Superieur (Portugal, 1970s), Consul Rum (Italy, 1970s), Cana de Maguey (Spain, 1970s), and the contemporary Plantation Single Cask Fiji Islands 2001. We’ll end with a one-off Tiki Easy Bar cocktail.

 

More info on The Tiki Easy Rum Club: The Tiki Easy Rum Club will meet monthly with two options on the fourth Thursday or Sunday of each month at The Tiki Easy Bar. We will be offering individual monthly sessions which will vary in cost depending on the topic and rums poured. Seats are limited to 10 people per session. Please see our Instagram page for the itinerary and meeting topics for each month and dates for the rest of 2024. 

 

The sessions will be led by one of our incredible bartenders, Ian Kearney. Ian has over 10 years of experience in the industry and first fell in love with rum while working at a bar called Extra Fancy, arguably one of THE industry bars in NYC at the time. He has traveled to many distilleries around the world to learn about how different spirits are produced and experience the blending of barrels and rickhouse rotations. We look forward to sharing some incredible rum with all of you!
