Episode #18: Dr. Frank Ward Talks Barbados Rum, Mount Gay, Mount Gilboa, and More
In this episode, we talked to Dr. Frank Ward, an icon of Barbados rum, about his time as managing director at Mount Gay, the sought-after pot still rums released under the Mount Gilboa brand (and via various independent bottlers), his time as chairman of WIRSPA, the development of the Authentic Caribbean Rum marque, his thoughts on the Barbados rum GI, and more. Before the interview, we kick things off with a short new segment called Rerums in which we each revisit a rum we haven’t had in awhile and share our impressions.
