STOLEN Rum at Taste of New Zealand

The week of the Rugby World Cup final in October wasn’t just about the on-field sports antics – foodies had their own on-field celebrations with Taste of New Zealand, NZ’s biggest culinary festival, which descended on Victoria Park in downtown Auckland for a three-day taste temptation. The event attracted thousands of guests from all over the world, including celebrity chefs Rick Stein and Gary Rhodes. The team from Stolen Rum were on hand throughout, offering punters a selection of taste-invigorating cocktails such as the Stolen Summer (STOLEN white rum infused with Manuka wood smoked Apricot, Peach and Nectarine, fresh lime and ginger beer) and the Caribbean Grass (STOLEN White Rum, fresh lime, lemongrass syrup, cloudy apple juice and gingerbeer).
