Tommy Bahama Ambassador of Rum Culture

Aloha everybody, this was a video we made at the Monkeypod Kitchen on Maui for the Tommy Bahama Rumologist search. The camera picked up some kind of lighting error and (as you can see) caused lines across the screen. I posted this 'cause it's a good testimonial to my feelings on Rum and you know, we had a fun time shootin' it -Hana Hou !
