Rum Summary

Rum by Dave Broom

This is an informative study of rum for an appreciator of the spirit. Rum is the world's fastest growing pemium spirit, with the USA being its number one market. The first part of the book explores rum's colourful origins and the different production techniques around the world. The second part covers pure rums by country or island of origin, explaining the role of micro-climates and production methods on the resulting style. There is a section on blended and spiced rums and a directory of over 200 rums, arranged alphabetically by brand name, complete with tasting notes and ratings for each. Cocktail suggestions also included, as well as cigar matching.

Rum Reviews

This is a most attractively produced illustrated book about one of the world's oldest spirits. The first rum may have been enjoyed some 2,500 years ago, but the modern drink began with moonshine fermented by Iberian New World settlers and later by the other Europeans when they established their Caribbean colonies. Perhaps the most popular rum comes from Cuba, where humidity levels are responsible for the sweetest sugar cane, and where in 1878 Don Facunado Bacardi imported the first still and created his famous brand. Dave Broom examines the colourful history of rum and explains production techniques from around the world. He also offers a directory of more than 200 rums with tasting notes and ratings.
