A very enjoyable read and a tribute to decades of research

Everything you wanted to know about rum plus more! A fantastic compilation with great photos. The history of rum and rum making is fascinating. Matt very eloquently sets the record straight on some of the myths and legends of this great drink.

Amazing Detailed information

If you want to learn about rum/Rhum then this is the book. It is an encyclopedia of rum but reads much better than that. I bought two of them. I kept one and gave one as a gift to a fellow rum lover.
