New Rum Brands for the IPBartenders Bar
To celebrate the fact we've been living all things rum recently, IPB have turned to collecting every bottle they can lay their hands on.
We're now in possession of over 220 brands (and climbing) including some of the finest products we've tasted in a long while. Picture the team as small kiddies in a sweet shop..........
We've still a little way to go before we catch up with Ian Burrell, but if you want to check out our list - check the rum collection section of the website.

This month, the BBC's food magazine Olive published a list of it's '50 Most Decadent Foodies'. This list combed history for the individuals whose food and drink knowledge and skills is (or was) matched only by their love of a good time.
1st place was Keith Floyd
12th place was hairy-knuckled lothario Dale de Groff
18th was Henry VIII
34th was Dick Bradsell
And scraping into the list in 49th place was......Ben Reed.
Proving that great quotes never die, the article recalled an old interview with Ben where he mused; "Why work in a normal job on £11k a year when you can get paid £15k, drink and get laid." Which says it all.....
************************************************************************
As part of our on-going work with Funkin Purees, Ben has filmed a series of simple cocktail videos demonstrating how easy it is to make cocktails at home with the Funkin range.
Called 'Mixology in 60 Seconds' the series of clips feature a selection of classic cocktails that can be made using simple home equipment - hardly high-end mixology - no gomme syrup, no shakers, just simple to make cocktails.
All the videos were shot at the bar in our office. Check them out around the site
