About Me
Champion of Rum
My name is Bryan, aka “The Rum Champion.” I am a rum-curious rum-enthusiast who has fallen in love with this great spirit.
To me, a “champion” represents a cause they believe in. To me, that’s working to bring awareness to the world’s most diverse yet underappreciated spirit, rum.
And so it begins...
I started my Instagram page (@therumchampion) on September 24th, 2022, to share my love of rum with the world and to show people that there is so much more to rum than Captain Morgan, Sailor Jerry, and Malibu Coconut
The People's Choice Winner - North America
Since then, I have amassed 24k followers and counting! It’s been amazing to connect with many people worldwide and learn more about rum from them! I’ve also been honored to win ‘The 2023 Rum Influencer of the Year - North America’ from Ultimate Rewards.
To date, I have tasted 935 rums from 67 countries. I also accumulated a modest collection of 400 bottles of rum, with more being added to my library each week!
