It was Long John Silver who said
He lived on rum
Meat, drink, man and wife
I tend to agree with him
None of this gin lark
Stick your whisky where the sun doesn’t shine
Beer’s pretty good
But give me a black bottle from Barbados
Burn my tongue on the flavours of Martinique
The holy trinity
Appleton, J.M, Foursquare
Sipping on an endless beach
In the dog days of summer
Distilled gold in my fingertips
That’s the life for me
The subject of rum is a massive topic that spans hundreds of years of tradition and craftsmanship. It’s easy for rum novices and aficionados to be overwhelmed by the amount of information that’s out there about one of the world’s most diverse spirits. But help has arrived in the form of Joseph Piercy’s A Rum Tale: Spirit Of The New World.
Part drinks guide, part love letter, A Rum Tale takes the reader on a voyage through the fascinating history of rum. From quirky facts like George Washington’s obsession with Barbados rum, to the story of notorious figures like Captain Henry Morgan, the book contains a wealth of boozy insight.
