What is Uncle Ron's Academy?



Uncle Ron’s Academy is a happy dynamically fluid crew who gather in various sized groups, committees, gatherings, celebrations enjoying visits with or just hanging around Uncle Ron.

Who is Uncle Ron? Uncle Ron is a "spirit". However, the Academy should say that it was a "aha" sort or moment when we realized that the "Ron" in Ron Carioca or Ron Zacapa Centenario was not a primero nombre but Rum! So when we gather it’s more of a family adventure valuing all those great things like life, love, learning. It is more than a night out on the town... So, we are Uncle Ron’s Academy....

This blog spot will feature all sorts of things like rum, music, feasts, literature, dancing, links to other rum sites, events, adventurers and one of the great causes we support: Los Primos Project

Upcoming Happenings

Havana Nights Dance
Nov. 2nd at 7:00pm

Tres rones han llegado

Tres rones han llegado... Yes the latest are in... One arrived from the Cloud Nine store in the Calgary Airport and two were hand delivered from Mexico... From Calgary comes Elements Eight... and From Mexico come two Mexico produced Barcardi Rums: Anejo and Superior. We can't seem to find a review on Elements Eight.. any suggestions?

The Academy should mention here that Rum’s (and sugar cane) history is really quite a study in everything from celebrations, family genealogy, industry and export growth to revolutions and war. It even gives Uncle Ron a moment’s pause. You see much of the Academy is about Cuba in vacations, social causes, support and citizenship. So what does the Academy do when Los Primos is one of the charities it’s supports and Barcardi is one of the Rums donated to be enjoyed at Uncle Ron’s Night? Give this history of Cuban Rum a read as it touches on many things... If somebody could find more writings on rum, Cuba, history the Academy would love to post it. Sounds like a good reason for an Academy agenda item?

Keep posted as the Cuban Rums are ready to pour in..... and we would welcome suggestions on additional local procurement, El Dorado, Flor de Cana, Cruzan? What you like???
