Additive Free Rum Tasting & Martinique Dinner

Additive Free Rum Tasting & Martinique Dinner

Rum has gotten a bad rap in the past because “there are no rules to making rum or what you can add to it.” Well . . . this is true to an extent. In the same way that there are no rules to how one must make whiskey. But then you get into the sub categories that we all know and love: Scotch, Bourbon, Irish Whiskey, and so on. Those all have very strict rules about the way they are made. The same is true of the rum category: Jamaica, Martinique, Guyana, Guadalupe and so on all have quite strict rules on how it is made. At this tasting we’ll explore some of these regions and the rules they have in place to make sure the quality of product coming out of their respective countries is top notch.

We’ll also taste one rum that has additives so you can taste the difference and hopefully be able to identify it in future rums you try.


At the event you will get a half ounce sample of each rum and a plate of traditional Martinique food:

Sugarcane Smoked Chicken Leg (Poulet Boucané), Grilled Pineapple, and Rice and Red Beans

Dessert will be a truffle from one of our great chocalatiers


The Rums

Habitation Saint-Etienne (HSE) Tres Vieux Rhum Agricole VSOP (Martinique)

Rhum JM VSOP Rhum Vieux Agricole (Martinique)

Hampden Estate Pure Single Jamaican Rum 8yr

Chairman’s Reserve Original Rum (Santa Lucia)

Planteray Original Dark Rum (Barbados & France)

Alec Bradley and Cohiba Cigars Cut & Light Night

Right from the start at Alec Bradley, the cigar making process is a labor of love. Thousands of seeds are planted in seedbeds, but only the very best are transferred to the planting trays in the greenhouses. After a period of supervised development and precise care, our family will select only the best of the best, most robust, and strongest seedlings that will actually make it to the fields, ensuring they will endure the elements and become mature tobacco plants. Quality control is of the utmost importance and each person involved holds this in high regard throughout the process.

 Their motto says it all

We have one goal: to give you, the cigar smoker, an unforgettable experience.

How about the Prensado....a rich, handmade cigar that is guaranteed to satisfy. With a special Trojes Corojo wrapper grown in Honduras and a flavorful blend of Nicaraguan, Honduran long-fillers you can expect a bold and eventful blend that brings interesting flavors in spades. There are smooth notes with deep, rich nuances including roasted flavors, coffee, and a dash of sweet red pepper.

Yup—its been rated as high as 96 points and was named the Top Cigar of 2011.

Cohiba--Experience Luxury.  The name Cohiba has always meant top-tier quality and a price to match–the kind of cigar you dream of.   On June 4th, we are introducing the new Rubicon. This is a Cohiba cigar that has all of the elegant craftsmanship that you expect from Cohiba but at a price that will make you smile. 

Join us at The Coffee Grounds as we welcome John Curtis, our AB & Cohiba rep, for an exclusive cigar tasting experience!  For just $30, enjoy a curated selection of two premium cigars from the AB and Cohiba renowned lineup, accompanied by a 1/2 pint of Modicum beer along with raffle prizes, discounts on cigars and lots of camaraderie!
