“An author and Rum Sommelier of the highest caliber, Bob has been loving Rum starting in 1978 when he first stole a bottle of Rum from his Dad’s liquor cabinet for a graduation party. Since then he’s been on a mission to taste 500 Rums before he takes his last breath. Check out my book "The Last Tot".
