Tristan Stephenson traces rum's history, from its origins on Caribbean sugar plantations to its role as the life-blood of the Royal Navy, and its centuries-long love affair with Cuba. He explores its darker, swashbuckling past, filled with tales of pirates, revolutionaries and devils, before bringing the story into the present with a look at the premiumisation of rum, including aged, spiced and craft varieties leading a new wave of interest. The book delves into production, explaining the science of sugar cane and molasses, distillation methods and the ageing techniques that give different rums their unique character. A guided Rum Tour transports readers to the most exciting distilleries across the globe, complete with Stephenson's signature tasting notes to help find the right bottle for the right moment. From the legendary Caribbean heartlands to pioneering new-world producers, the book offers a genuinely global perspective. It closes with a mixology section, showing readers how to elevate classics like the Mai Tai, Mojito and Planter's Punch, and how to master rum's Brazilian cousin, cachaça, in Caipirinhas and Batidas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten by bestselling mixologist and author Tristan Stephenson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers rum history, production, distilleries and tasting notes in one volume\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes a global Rum Tour and practical cocktail recipes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeautifully photographed hardback, perfect for coffee table or bar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn ideal gift for cocktail lovers, home bartenders and spirits enthusiasts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTristan Stephenson is an award-winning bartender, drinks writer and co-founder of several respected London bars and restaurants.
