The Rum Experience

Rating:
Summary: Everything you wanted to know about Rum is here.
Review: (Submitted to the author by Mrs. Viola Davis, PhD from Barbados, British West Indies). "I think the subtitle of this charming book about Rum; The Rum Experience/The Complete Rum Reference, is so apt. It epitomizes the theme and spirit (pun intended) of the book, while "Experience" conjures up to us the image of "the observing eye", the practical knowledge which the author uses to peer into the fascinating story of Rum, it is the word "Reference", which suggests ,authoritative. The author wields a sure hand in disseminating the information. It is with confidence that he gives of his knowledge of the subject. This is a painstaking description of the process, from which the end product.....Rum, comes.

One look at the Contents of this book, gives the reader the assurance that the information which he seeks is available. One is led through the definition of Rum, its origins, and the sweet facts of the matter. Many questions are answered. Everything you wanted to know about Rum is here.

What is the process by which sugarcane becomes Rum? What does distillation mean? How many types of Rum do we know? How is Rum rated?

What criteria are used for rating Rum? Add to this the historical events associated with Rum, the role of rum in both the British and American Navies, Prohibition and Rum Wars. What a mix!! As if all this were not enough we have a list of Rums by countries, Rum tasting sponsored by the famous Caribbean Week Newspaper, and most interesting ,an indication that there is something here for everyone there are recipes both for Rum drinks and for cooking with Rum.

I would buy this book just for the Rum in History Section. It is so informative. Needless to say, if you are a serious researcher after the truth about Rum, this book encourages further research. Just turn to the Company Directory, Index and Bibliography and there you will satisfy this urge to know more.

What makes this book as enjoyable an exercise as sipping good Rum, is the obvious delight or should I say passion, for the subject ,which the author exhibits. This is a book which you must purchase to add to your research library. Anyone wants to argue about Rum after tasting a few samples? Bring out The Rum Experience, by Luis Ayala and settle the dispute."
