About Oriel
From the deeps of the spanish tiki culture of the 70s to the authentic european tiki revival, Oriol Elias aka “The Bald Bastard” is travelling the world spreading the word of tiki.
He is a rum lover, a tiki expert, a self-described “cocktail freak” based in Barcelona, Spain. One of Spain’s premier tiki bartenders, Oriol has spent the last 10 plus years honing his craft at a number of Barcelona rum and tiki bars including Tahiti and the Caribbean Club.
The name of this web “Three of Strong” is based on the classic rhyme of the Planter’s Punch recipe:
“One of sour, two of sweet, three of strong, four of weak”
Being the rum the “strong” on that recipe and the Planter’s Punch the base that Don the Beachcomber used to create his famous Rhum Rapsodies, we could know what’s the concept of this blog: rum, tiki drinks and more…
Oriol travels the world from event to event, from Barcelona to Miami, through Lima, Paris, Berlin,…Teaching about rum and tiki cocktails on masterclasses, seminars and workshops, he is also international rum tasting judge, online tiki teacher at the platform Dash Workshops and founder member of the Barcelona Rum Club.

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.

Industry Monday’s – Join Federico Hernandez from TheRumLab as he deep dives (it’s really shallow) around the world of Rum.. Topic: Starting a New Rum Brand Guest: Eric Kaye founder of Holmes Cay Rum About Eric: I’m a New Yorker and longtime rum aficionado. I have also been a producer and composer of music for film, TV and commercials for the past 25 years. In 2019, I created the US independent bottling company Holmes Cay with one simple premise: to seek out the world’s best rums and release them unadulterated and at cask strength. A devoted scuba diver for more than 30 years, I’ve traveled the world, having visited more than 100 countries. Throughout those travels, which included nearly every island in the Caribbean, I came across spectacular rums never seen in the States. In Europe too, I discovered other incredible Caribbean rums, many bottled at cask strength, and almost completely unknown back home. I wanted to bring these rums home and share them with American lovers of rum and fine spirits, and thus Holmes Cay was born.
