Topic: Sourcing Rum with E&A Scheer BV
Guest Speakers: Carsten Vlierboom (CEO) & Niels Benschop (COO)
What You’ll Learn: Did you know many of the rums we buy are sourced from third party companies that purchase rum in bulk from distilleries all over the world? This has been practiced for centuries, and no company has been doing it longer than E&A Scheer in Amsterdam. During this livestream, you’ll get a glimpse into E&A Scheer HQ, plus an in-depth conversation with Carsten Vlierboom (CEO & Master Blender) & Niels Benschop (COO).
About Carsten Vlierboom
After graduating from one of the top Hotel Management Schools in the world, my destiny was to provide great service to guests staying at fine hotels, but my career took another path. Military service brought me to the Dutch Air Force, into logistics, and from there I moved into Pharmaceutical wholesale until a headhunter suggested my talents were needed with a family company they knew. I walked into E&A Scheer 25 years ago and found a great Rum company and the Spirits industry which has kept me smiling ever since. Now I get to provide users of bulk Rum with great service in supplying custom made Rum blends every day of my working life.
About Niels Benschop
A proud father of two who loves to balance my passion for food and drinks with an active lifestyle. As a food and spirit enthusiast, it is my worst fear is to run out of new taste and flavour experiences. Having worked in the food industry for most of my career, I now get the chance to work for an icon in the rum industry, E&A Scheer, as Chief Commercial Officer. As I am very new in the Rum world, I am eager to get to know the people, products, and stories that drive the business and of course try creating new history.

What You’ll Learn: The Clarendon Distillery, home to Monymusk, was built in Jamaica on 1949, making it a very recent addition to rum production.

Join Jerry Gitany (directly from Paris, France) and Federico Hernandez as they talk about what’s typically inside a bottle of Martinique rum. The presentation will also feature a beautiful Infographic curated by the team at La Confrérie du Rhum.
Topic: Industry Rum Rebels
Guests:
Martyna Halas:
Martyna is a freelance journalist, content writer, and musician. She is a women’s rights activist and mental health advocate, currently contributing to HealthyPlace.com and Are We Europe magazine. She was also the Rock 4 Choice festival organizer in Ireland in 2017, which preceded the country’s historic abortion referendum.
Privately, she enjoys craft beer and is always on the hunt for a Cabernet Franc. She discovered vintage rum thanks to Rene and is often accompanying him to spirits events and distilleries as a photographer. Their recent business trip to Grenada, The Caribbean, inspired her to create their new website TripsAndTaste.com (currently being updated).
Rene van Hoven:
Rene is an F&B teacher, international wine & spirits judge, and a vintage rum collector known as Rene’s Rarities. He has contributed articles to magazines such as More Than Drinks, Whisky Passion, and Rum Porter. Rene also published a book entitled “Journey To Above The Clouds,” which documents his study of Zacapa Rum and their Guatemala facilities.
He is a recurring guest at various spirits festivals and competitions, where he gives rum masterclasses and offers visitors a chance to taste rarities from his private vintage collection. Some of the most notable worldwide events include Miami Rum Renaissance, Michelangelo South Africa, and the German Rum Festival in Berlin.
What You’ll Learn:
Female empowerment and gender equality continue to be a hot topic worldwide. One of the last few macho industries that are finally catching up is the rum world.
Female master blenders are on the rise, so it’s safe to assume that rum production is no longer a boys-only playground. That’s where our book comes in: we’re here to tell the stories of the best female master blenders in the rum industry and celebrate their achievements.
Introducing Joy Spence as the first female Master Blender in 1997 revolutionized the rum world and the entire spirits scene. Ironically, research tells us that women are better equipped to handle this job as they are naturally better tasters than men.
Therefore, it’s about time to take them more seriously. This book aims to give them the attention they deserve.
Each chapter will focus on a different master blender and the brand they represent. The reader will learn about their upbringing, education, and journey towards the top of the ladder in the rum-making process. We will also highlight their struggles and perseverance in reaching their goals, as it can’t be easy to be the only woman in a male-dominated world.
We want this book to be visually engaging, so we hope to use promotional pictures and photos from private archives (childhood, first steps, behind the scenes). The aim is to give the readers a feeling as if they know the ladies personally.

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”.
