Centenario Rum Club at La Isla

Salute!

For those of you new to Rum Club,  once a month we hold a food and rum combo night where you’re able to try an ensemble of rums that are paired with complementing side dishes. If you enjoy good people, good food and particularly good Rum – Rum Club at La Isla is the place to be! For those of you who have been to Rum Club before, you know exactly what we're talking about.

            

yum, yum, rum!

 This month’s rum club was sponsored by Centenario. Our friend Ben, the Centenario rep, came down and shared some background on the brand and how it’s most popular in Mexico but fresh to Washington State.  The rum flight included the 5yr, 7yr, 12yr, and 25yr with delicious food pairings. We started out with a squash and walnut soup followed by Costa Rican native Gallo Pinto Frittata and finished with a decadent Pumpkin Pie-esque dessert.

           

Alongside good rum and good food - we here at La Isla, make it our personal duty to ensure you’re enjoying yourself and having a good time; that’s what its all about right?  We were excited to see so many of you show up! So make sure next month you mark your calendars for Rum Club and come have a fun filled evening with friends while, most likely, making new ones!!  

In the Beginning

Hello my fellow Rum Bums

And welcome to our blog. The main purpose of this blog page is for it to be an extension of our rum club called Rum Bums at La Isla Restaurant and Bar.

We hope we can add to the discussion by bringing our own little piece to the gigantic puzzle that is the world of rum. We are not pretending to be experts by any means. If anything, we are just but mere students of this wonderfully humbling spirit. And we hope that you will engage in our topics as we explore and learn about it at our leisurely island pace. The last Tuesday of every month we get together to explore, learn, discuss and more importantly drink at the bar of La Isla. And in doing so we hope to achieve a little bit more knowledge.

Rum seems to have been a forgotten spirit for a while, but it is making a strong comeback. We are trying to help that comeback in our own little part of the world one guest at a time. It has one of the most diverse flavor profiles among the spirits known today. So come join us this and every last Tuesday of the month. Come enjoy rum the way we think it should be enjoyed. We look forward to being able to share some new and/or old rums as well as our little piece of Puerto Rico with everyone.

Are you ready?
