Books on rum!

Pirate: Without question, I can recommend the only rum book that I own. It is Beachbum Berry's Potions of The Caribbean. He is a stickler for extreme detail and heavily researches everything. It is a great historical narrative along with authentic drink recipes. His picture is on the bottle of Plantation OFTD, which he and six other members on the panel all helped to create this rum. He is on the upper right of all panel members.

I really enjoyed "And a Bottle of Rum" by Wayne Curtis. A bit of history, a bit of rum, a bit of mixology.

I found "and a bottle of rum"! But unfortunately, the only item i managed to locate from Beachbum Berry, is "remixed". I cannot pinpoint his Sippin' Safari, Potions, or Taboo Table books... His application though, contains everything. If i ultimately yield and buy myself an I-phone, i sure as hell am buying that!

Rum Curious Smugglers Cove And a Bottle of Rum Rum, the Manual I’ve read all but the last, and they’re all good. They each overlap a little as it’s the same subject matter, but each has their own take. Rum Curious has some great recipes for drinks too!

My favorite book is ”Rum - discover the golden drops”. The original was written in Danish and then also published in Swedish, but I don’t know if it’s published in English yet or if it ever gonna be. If not, it doesn’t give much for you who don’t understand Danish, Swedish or Norwegian. One of the authors, Mads Heitman, who is behind the Nordic region's largest rum site, “Romhatten”, has now written a new book "Caribbean rum - a sea of ​​flavors". By moment just in Danish, so I will wait to buy it until it’s published in Swedish.

I got Smuggler's Cove for a Christmas gift and I need to admit that it contains awesome cocktail recipes. I've been recently very disappointed by random web recipes and this has seriously improved the quality of my drinks.

Frederick H. Smith: Caribbean Rum: A Social and Economic History Marco Pierini: American Rum: A Short History of Rum in Early America Jared Mcdaniel Brown: CUBAN COCKTAILS (not rum only)

Outdated but Ed Hamilton's 1995 book "Rums of the Easter Caribbean" is a good read. So is Luca Gargano's "Atlas du Rhum". from 2014 or so....

Was the Gargano's book translated to English? I can only see the French version.

@Kudzey I searched also for Garganos book in English, but there is only the French version. This is a recommendation of Stephen Remsberg: "... if you really want to know how Rum evolved over the last 300 years, there are only two books that treat the history of the great English trading companies that really invented Rum, together with the distillers who struggled to produce what would sell. They are "Rum Yesterday and Today" by Hugh Barty-King and Anton Massel, and "Caribbean Rum" by Frederick H. Smith." He said also: "There are virtually no serious Rum books. With the invasion of Whiskey blenders into the pool of people writing about Rum, the books have become compilations of tasting notes… That are useful, but they cover only the brands current when the author made his two-week blitz of the islands."
