Product Description
Book Description
From the gentle charcoal-filtered purity of a white to the oak-aged spice of a dark, rum is one of the world's finest and most popular spirits. Made from molasses or the juice of sugar cane, it was first distilled in the 17th century in the Caribbean. A fascinating tour of rum in all its styles—white, golden, and dark—Classic Rum looks at its rich history and culture as well as its manufacture. There is an A-Z of all the classic brands, their histories, and tasting notes (from the rare "single marks" to more familiar names—Bacardi, Wrays, Lamb's Navy, Captain Morgan, Mount Gay). In addition, there are classic recipes for rum-based drinks and tips on using rum for cooking in the kitchen. It is a complete and essential guide for connoisseurs and novices alike. Julie Arkell is a wine writer, lecturer, and broadcaster.

A comprehensive listing of rum, Aug 4 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Classic Rum (Hardcover)
I've enjoyed reading through all the different manufacturers and types of rum. As a rum collector and coniosseur, the review of each brand is pretty much on the money, and the listings by alphabet and by manufacturer are very helpful. I was able to help a restaurant friend order the rums to stock his new Caribbean restaurant by using this book! It goes to show you that there is more to rum than Bacardi!
