Did you know that the USA is considered one of the most important countries for the entire rum industry. Before the American Revolution, rum was the most consumed spirit, and now an awakening is occurring.
When it comes to Rum, Miami is indeed the most important city in the entire rum industry due to all the global cultural diversity. Right, who doesn't want to spend some time in Miami. As a matter of fact, Miami-Dade by itself is the largest rum consumer market in the USA. Represents over 2.4M cases of rums sold per year.

Our team has vast knowledge in the rum category. The Rum Lab is the producer of the Spain Rum Fest, Puerto Rico Rum Festival "Taste of Rum", Dallas, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and the Chicago Rum Festival. All events are attracting hundreds of people from trade, rum aficionados, tourists & locals.
