Topic: Truth in Alcohol Labeling

Guest Speaker: Bailey Pryor – Founder & C.E.O 

What You’ll Learn: The Real McCoy 100 Proof Limited Edition is the FIRST alcohol brand in the United States to voluntarily list both Ingredients and Serving Facts on the bottle label. This information is verified by an independent 3rd party testing agency named BDAS in Lexington, KY. These labels are government approved by the TTB in the United States, signifying a milestone step toward real transparency in the beverage alcohol industry. “We think 3rd party verified transparency is key to building consumer confidence in beverage alcohol, especially in the premium rum sector. Hopefully other brands will join The Real McCoy rum in voluntarily disclosing their 3rd party verified Ingredients and Serving Facts. Consumer have a right to know whats in their favorite beverages, just like they do with their favorite foods.” – Bailey Pryor, Founder & CEO, The Real McCoy Rum.

About Bailey Pryor: 

Inspired by real-life Prohibition-era rum-runner Bill McCoy, filmmaker Bailey Pryor launched The Real McCoy rum in 2013—the same year he won five Emmy Awards for the documentary he wrote and directed about Bill McCoy. During the making of the movie, Pryor decided to create a rum like the one McCoy smuggled from the Caribbean to New York in the 1920s. While many other bootleggers diluted their alcohol with turpentine or prune juice, McCoy’s rums were pure and uncut, earning them the moniker “The Real McCoy.”

Topic: Q&A with Latin’s America longest working female Master Blender

Guests:  Carmen López de Bastidas (Destilería Carúpano Master Blender) 


What You’ll Learn: 

Carmen López de Bastidas is Venezuela’s first certified female Master Blender who has been, for the past 32 years, passionately developing the exquisite profiles of Ron Carúpano. She was born and raised in the coastal town of Carúpano (Venezuela) and before devoting her full time to rum, Carmen moved to Caracas to study and obtain her Chemistry degree, starting her career as a Quality Control Specialist. 

In 1990, Destilería Carúpano, a local rum manufacturer, reached out to her, offering to lead their newly-created quality control department. Ron Carúpano has been a family-owned business since its foundation in 1762, with ambitious hopes and determination to expand to the international market. For this reason, the company needed to standardize its production system to ensure consistency and quality. 

The board of directors understood they needed someone with a strong chemistry background to help them get the company to the next level, so they entrusted Carmen with this colossal task. That is why she is responsible for the award-winning commercial and prestige lines of Super Premium Venezuelan Ron Carúpano, setting the tone and paving the way for women to lead in the world of Rum. In her own words, being a rum master blender means “having the capacity, the taste, and olfactory sensitivity as well as the dedication to know how to mix different types of rums with different aging vintages to create extraordinary products that elevate every occasion in life”.
