He joins us at Caña Rum Bar to chat about the line, the Bleve family (his bosses) and some darn good rum!--What we drank:Samaroli Demerara Dark 2003Samaroli Carribean Soul 2017Samaroli Barbados 2002--Follow us:spiritguidesocietypodcast.comfacebook.com/spiritguidesoctwitter.com/spiritguidesocinstagram.com/spiritguidesochttps://www.youtube.com/c/SpiritGuideSociety--Music by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
