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.

Although Daniele Dalla Pola is recognized as one of the world’s greatest tropical mixologists, above all, he is a sophisticated connoisseur of the finest, most exotic cocktails. His search for the unique, unexplored and utterly unexpected could not be more evident than at his “lab”, the Nu Lounge Bar in Bologna, Italy, where he curates a collection of sugars, spices, essences, and other raw materials to experiment on his latest cocktail combinations.
Inspired throughout his career by the Polynesian symbols and mythology, Daniele has focused much of his career on indigenous and tropical drinks in the world of Tiki cocktails. Daniele prides himself on creating cocktails with delicacy and precision, in mixing fragrances and tastes in creative concoctions, and in showing his patrons the best of times every single night. To Daniele, mixology is an art that doesn’t just involve combining great ingredients, but more importantly, reading the room and his clientele to create a cocktail based on their mood.
Born in Italy, Daniele refined his craft as a mixologist spending many years in the hippest bars in Miami before returning to Italy. Now, he travels the world consulting with some of the biggest names in the industry, and recently was recognized as one of the best international bartenders after being nominated at this years Tales of the Cocktail in New Orleans. With Daniele behind the bar, sipping a drink with the fragrant aromas of an exotic, sun-drenched Pacific beach, may not be so far away… (Info from RealIngredients.com)
