Topic: Transparency in Alcohol Labeling 

Channel: Tiki by the Sea

Host: Peter Nevenglosky - Co-Founder Tiki by the Sea

Guest Speaker:  Speaker: Bailey Pryor, Founder & CEO, The Real McCoy Rum

Bartender: Nathan Hazard, National Brand Ambassador, The Real McCoy Rum

What You'll Learn:  Since the 1970’s all prepared foods in America are required to list both Ingredients and Serving Facts on their packaging in order to provide transparency to consumers. Why does this not exist with alcohol? Especially when we consider the negative effect of not disclosing allergens, use of animal products and dozens of added chemicals and sweeteners to consumers who need to know this information in order to maintain their health. This seminar explores the need for full disclosure to consumers, and premiers the first alcohol product in history to voluntarily list both Ingredients and Serving Facts on its bottle labels - The Real McCoy Limited Edition 50% ABV.

Rums of the 1920s, ’30s, ’40s, and ‘50s
The Prohibition and post-Prohibition years were rum’s comeback era. After being eclipsed by whiskey, rum bounced back thanks to Prohibition and the liquors shortages of World War II. How did this happen? What were people drinking? How did rum then differ from rum today? And how did it evolve over those four decades? Wayne Curtis, author of “And a Bottle of Rum: A History of the New World in 10 Cocktails,” will discuss rum’s 20th century revival, including the role of exotic drinks in bringing the most flavorful rums back to the public's attention.

Copalli Rum is a sustainable rum in the heart of the Belizean Rainforest. Built in 2017 and surrounded by 22,000 acres of rainforest conservancy, the farm is the first certified-organic farm in Belize. Copalli’s core founding principles was to make great tasting rum with all-natural ingredients, while honoring the land and the community.
