It’s more than just a sloganāit’s the philosophy behind everything I do at RumShopBoy.
Rum is one of the most diverse and exciting spirits in the world, yet it’s still misunderstood by so many people. From light Cuban styles and rich Demerara rums to funky Jamaican pot stills, elegant rhums agricoles and everything in between, there really is a rum for everyone.
My mission is simple: to help more people discover just how incredible rum can be.
That’s why I created this fun animated video. It captures the spirit of RumShopBoy and celebrates the amazing diversity, enjoyment and community that make rum such a fantastic category.
Whether you’re completely new to rum or you’ve been enjoying it for years, I hope you’ll join me as I continue to explore bottles from all over the world, share honest opinions, recommend great value rums and hopefully inspire a few more people to discover their next favourite bottle.
After all…
Life’s too short not to Drink More Rum! š„š¹

RumShopBoy | Honest Rum Reviews, Recommendations & Rum Knowledge
I'm Simon, the person behind RumShopBoy ā exploring the incredible world of Rum, Ron, Rhum and CachaƧa.
I've been writing about, tasting and collecting rum for many years, with a particular interest in the diversity of production styles, traditions and flavours found around the world.
RumShopBoy is all about honest opinions, independent reviews and helping people discover better rum. Whether you're completely new to rum or already have a well-stocked collection, I want to make the category easier to understand, explore and enjoy.
My content covers individual rum reviews, affordable and beginner-friendly recommendations, Rum Knowledge videos and explorations of rum-producing countries and styles from around the world.
Appleton was where my own rum journey really began, and Jamaican and Barbadian rum remain important reference points for me. Foursquare is another particular favourite, and I'm an advocate of Luca Gargano's proposed reclassification of rum as a useful way of understanding how rum is actually produced.
I hold WSET Level 1 and Level 2 Awards in Spirits, achieving Distinction at Level 2. I also hold WSET Level 1 and Level 2 Awards in Wine, again achieving Distinction at Level 2.
Away from rum, I'm a Liverpool supporter and season ticket holder, and a long-time Pet Shop Boys fan ā which provided some of the inspiration for the RumShopBoy name.
