The People Behind Boston Rum Week

Boston Rum Week is brought to life by a passionate community of rum enthusiasts, industry professionals, and experts who are dedicated to raising awareness and appreciation for rum in Boston and beyond. This team was formed through the Boston Rum Social Club, a vibrant community where rum lovers—bartenders, brand ambassadors, educators, and industry leaders—come together to share knowledge, experiences, and, of course, great rum.

Whether we’re curating experiences, hosting tastings, or collaborating with top venues, our goal is to create an engaging and educational week for everyone—from curious newcomers to seasoned rum lovers.
