Max’s Trumbull Kitchen, in collaboration with Spiribam USA, hosted a Cigar & Rum Dinner highlighting spirits from Rhum Clément on July 24. Nathaniel Ross, New England Regional Manager, Spiribam USA, was on-site to present the line of Agricole rums to guests. The Caribbean-inspired dinner featured four courses of cuisine, each paired with a different cocktail featuring Rhum Clément rums and premium cigars from Hartford’s The Tobacco Shop. During the evening, Rhum Clément Canne Bleue Rum, Mahina Coco Coconut Liqueur, Agricole Blanc Rum, V.S.O.P. Rum and 10 Year Old Gran Reserve Rum were showcased. Rhum Clément’s award-winning line of Agricole rums are produced on the eastern Caribbean island of Martinique from fresh sugarcane juice under Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée guidelines, which guarantees their authenticity. The rums are distributed in Connecticut by Martignetti Companies.
