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

TWINS



Don Ron Lance refers to them as twins ( they are bundled). The rum representing Uncle Ron’s night 2012 Ron Millonario 15 Solera Reserva Especial …




From Peru but sourced via Calgary and muled in via Tantallon and Dal’s parking lot… at it’s first appearance in 2012 it actually placed 2nd to Cruzan Black Strap and Cuba’s Legendario (who tied for 1st). Because they are repeat winners Ron Millonario get’s the nog …. With special thanks to don ron’s Lance and Mike…



Seeing we sourced it from Alberta we should check out Chip’s ( the Rum Howler) review. And how fitting for something that will be enjoyed in Nova Scotia, as Chip reports that it is made in “old Scottish column stills”. For a 2nd opinion let’s see our friends at Liquorature

Rums left to source for Uncle Ron's Night 2013 are all available in Province of Nova Scotia: Anejo Ron Superior Brugal (2003), El Dorado 12 (2004), Ron Zacapa Centenario 23 anos (2005), Gosling’s Black Seal (2006), Cruzan Black Strap (2007),  Goslings Family Reserve( 2008).

Delivered today from the D.R via PEI the Number one rum from 2011 for Tío ron de noche 2013…. Sourced and Hand Delivered by a tag team of the faculty from the D.R P.E.I : Punta Cana Ron Muy Viejo It is still hard to find a review on Punta Cana Ron Muy Viejo but here is a blurb by the Rumelier on Oliver and Oliver the producer….
