These podcasts have been very good. I am enjoying them very much, and when I have had the spotlight rums on hand I have been like Pavlov’s dog bending to the power of suggestion and uncorking the bottles to play along. Put quite a dent in the Coruba and Rhum JM bottles the other day and I blame Kevin!
