Season 4, Ep 11 -- Rum history with Black Tot's own Mitch Wilson
July 15, 2020 04:00 - 2 hours - 230 MBIt would seem that the more Joshua and Jason talk to people about whisky the more people start asking "hey, what do you think of rum?" The boys noticed this more and more. It would make sense; the two have been bottling rums since 2017. What do they think of it?
