A valuable book dedicated to rum, with no other books of its kind published in Japanese. The author is Dave Broom, a world-renowned whiskey/spirits critic. This book is a captivating study of rum, one of the oldest distilled spirits in the world. The first rum may have been enjoyed 2,500 years ago, but the modern drink began with moonshine fermented by Iberian settlers in the New World. Perhaps the most popular rum comes from Cuba, the land of the sweetest sugarcane, where Don Facundo Bacardí imported the first still in 1878 and created his famous brand. Dave Broom examines the colorful history of rum and explains manufacturing techniques from around the world. There are also sections on blended rum and spiced rum, with over 200 rums listed alphabetically by brand, along with their tasting notes and ratings. Cocktail suggestions and pairings with cigars are also included. Part 1 explores the colorful origins of rum and the various manufacturing techniques around the world. Part 2 features pure rums from different countries and islands of origin, explaining the role of microclimates and manufacturing methods in the final style. ◆◆Specifications◆◆ English book Liquor: Rum Photo collection, collection of works, reference book Hardcover 28.5 x 24.5 cm 176 pages ◆◆Condition◆◆ Slight wear and tear on the cover due to age.
