Product Description

Book Description
In this sweeping volume, Charles Coulombe explores the fascinating origins and far-reaching legacies of the drink that "kept the British Navy afloat for 300 years" while establishing a colourful reputation as a mainstay of buccaneers, revolutionaries and trendsetters. From rum's role in the Boston Tea Party to its dubious distinction as the centre of the soul-crushing colonial Triangle Trade, here is the uncorked truth about the beverage that altered world history. Spiked with tantalising recipes, Rum is intriguing, informative and utterly intoxicating.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rum The Epic Story of the drink that conquered the world , 30 May 2006
Reading alot about spirits and the drinks industry, I feel this books gives the reader a much deeper love for a truely great spirit. What a fantastic look at such a great spirit and perfect timing as it is on a rise again and will become a world leader soon. A truely great read.
