Rum Ambassador | Reviews | Opinions | Consultant. A lover of rums, especially British-style from countries such as Jamaica and Barbados. Rum ambassador. Reviews. Rum opinions. Rum advice. Rum news. Rum chat. Rum discussion. My first rum was Appleton and that is generally the benchmark I use for comparing rums along with Foursquare. My collection now has (in 2023) over 600 different rums and that number is continually growing. I am an advocate of the Gargano rum re-categorisation. As well as rum, I am a big Liverpool fan (and season ticket holder) and love Pet Shop Boys (hence the blog name). I have a Level 1 WSET qualification in Spirits, Level 2 with Distinction. I also have Level 1 WSET wine and Level 2 with Distinction qualifications.
