The annual gin and rum festival will feature brand-outlet collaborations every weekend, starting from Sept 26 - Nov 21, 2020

Since 2018, GinRumMe has strived to showcase some of the finest spirits and cocktails available in Malaysia, and this year is no different. Special events at different locations will run for eight consecutive weeks starting from Sept 26 - Nov 21, 2020.

Spirit brands and venues are also teaming up to release one Grab.Relax.Minum Masterclass Box each. Contents include three tasters that can be enjoyed in a provided GinRumMe tulip glass. These masterclass kits can be purchased separately from event passes here.
 
What's new in 2020? GinRumMe is introducing a new spirit category, Mezcal, which will be making an appearance in the second week of the festival.
