Rum runners, tiki connoisseurs, pirates, and anyone else who is a fan of rum and cane-based spirits had better clear their calendars from Monday, September 18th to Sunday the 24th for the first annual Boston Rum Week. Get your taste buds primed and your tasting notebooks ready for seven days of spirits tasting, cocktail mixing, and other curated events at some of your favorite rum-soaked spots around the region, including a cocktail class with spirits smartie Fred Yarm at Gustazo Cuban Kitchen & Bar in Waltham on Thursday the 21st at 7:00pm; and a spirits dinner at Row 34 in Burlington on Sunday the 24th at 6:00pm with Plantation Rum (reserve here). Check out the lineup of events on their website or follow the series on Instagram to stay in the know, and brush up on your vintage Mr. Boston recipes so you can keep up with the pros all week.
