Krzysiek Piaseczny
Rum Explorer | Founder
As an independent promoter of the Rum Explorer, Krzysiek (Chris) is also the founder and main leader of this innovative project. His primary focus is on his home country, Poland, but his efforts and reputation extend across many European countries. His activities are dedicated to the popularisation of rum, encompassing business consulting, organising sales training and tastings, and supporting events. He also writes reviews and articles for industry and lifestyle portals and serves as a juror in the rum category for the nationwide Warsaw Spirit Competition. Additionally, he is preparing to publish his first book dedicated to rum for Polish audiences. Overall, his work is a testament to his commitment to developing the market, increasing awareness, and enhancing the recognition of rum in Poland, all while strengthening his personal brand, Rum Explorer.
One of his key development strategies involves constantly seeking new projects and producers, selecting the most intriguing ones to present to the alcohol industry in Poland.
He conducts numerous traveling and online masterclasses, both for general development and advanced specialisation. Each masterclass features a Special Guest, often the owner of a distillery or someone directly involved in production. To date, he has conducted several dozen specialised and several hundred general tastings.
