While B.C. distillers are earning an international reputation for Gin and Whisky, the production of Rum isn’t something that’s normally associated with the wet west coast.  But a Vancouver Island family is putting a unique twist on tradition, turning their farm into the province’s first estate-grown rum distillery.  Jay Durant shows us how generations of hard work are fuelling a bold new chapter on This Is  B.C.
