Topic: Still Design and Rum Style with Maggie Campbell

Guest: Maggie Campbell, President and Head Distiller at Privateer Rum

What You’ll Learn: We often define rums by the type of stills that made them—but how does a still’s design actually impact what ends up in your glass? In this livestream, Maggie Campbell (President / Head Distiller at Privateer Rum) will break down the different ways that pot stills, column stills, and everything in between can shape rum.
