About GLOBAL RUM AMBASSADOR IAN BURRELL
A global rum ambassador is someone who dedicates their life to travelling around the world to promote and talk about the wonders of the rum industry – someone who talks about its history, where it is today, where it’s going in the future. It’s a title I gave myself when I realised that there wasn’t anyone championing rum in the way that it should be. Way back in 2003 I decided to dedicate my life to doing just that, and needed an apt title to express that, so that’s how it came out.
