Joe Petro, proprietor of Snifter’s Bistro and Hair ‘O the Dog, takes sippers on a Run tasting journey
Rum is a diverse liquor whose varieties range from white rum, dark or “black” rum, spiced rum, gold rum, and premium aged rums. Every rum is made from either molasses or sugar cane – each has a flavor profile based on fermentation time, length of barrel aging, and whether spices, botanicals, or fruits are infused into the alcohol base. While rum is widely mixed in fruity, tropical cocktails, some rums are meant to be slowly sipped much like other high-quality liquors (straight up or on the rocks) – not sucked through a straw.
Joe’s “horizontal tasting” will transform class participants into rum maestros as he takes sippers on a journey of the Caribbean’s favorite spirit.
“Rum Tasting for Pirates & Wenches” is a one (1) session course, in-person at the Snifter’s Bistro in Easton, Oct. 21st from 3-4:30 PM, $35. To register for this or any other Chesapeake Forum class, please visit https://chesapeakeforum.org.
