We delve into flavors maps, super tasting abilities and blending spirits. Join us for an insightful conversation on rum culture and the ways of working of Maison Ferrand.We serve Paul not one but two things to taste. A 1960s rum, which he analyses perfectly in this episode, and a very 'Unique' product. As always, we asked our guest to bring something as well.
