Description

Rum Through the Ages” provides great, easily understandable background on what rum is made from, as well as historical context explaining the evolution of key styles of rum: The heavy, pot-stilled rums from former colonies of England, sugar cane juice-based Rhum Agricole from the French colonies (most notably, Martinique and Guadeloupe), and the lighter, column stilled “Spanish style” rums from islands like Cuba and Puerto Rico. While the book’s take on Tiki’s distant past is a welcome addition to the existing literature, what’s particularly interesting to me is an account of the Tiki revival moment, which started circa the late 1990s and continues to this day.

If you squeeze too hard to get the last few drops out, you’ll get a lot more bitterness from the skin oil and pith, which tastes bad in a drink. In addition to Smuggler’s Cove, Martin is also the co-owner of Hale Pele in Portland, OR, as well as a partner in Chicago’s Lost Lake and San Diego’s False Idol. Somewhat of a “Tiki insiders” secret for years, the book puts the technique squarely into mainstream awareness. It substantially expands upon the Gargano system above, primarily by adding an age dimension as well as separating molasses/evaporated cane rums from fresh cane rums, e.

The book’s final few pages feature recipes for Smuggler’s Cove ingredients (orgeat, cinnamon syrup, etc. Update: Be sure to check out Martin’s comment on this post, which has great additional insight into the above. Hola Matt, han pasado 4 años de tu post y los cuestionamientos continúan, es un mundo muy amplio y muy difícil de complacer a todos.

When confronted with something like “column still aged” in a recipe, I mentally blank out – I’ve got dozens to choose from. A warm welcome awaits you at Smugglers Cove, whether your visiting the local seaside, stopping at our Marstons Inn or looking for a delicious meal to enjoy with all your friends and family. Deciding what to add is interesting because I do pass up quite a few bottles that I don’t think have particular historic interest or provenance, so it is a thoughtful process. If you’ve tried both rums, you know they’re completely different in flavor: The VSOR is a dry, Bajan-style rum, while the Dos Maderas 5+5 is a super-sweet, sherry bomb of a rum. I learned it firsthand from Martin while spending days with him on a bus travelling to Jamaican distilleries as part of an ACR/WIRSPA sponsored tour.

Steve Crane, the man behind the The Luau and the Kon Tiki chain of restaurants (the book refers to him as Tiki’s “Third Man,” behind Donn Beach and Trader Vic) was a Hollywood actor and was married to the famous actress Lana Turner. Color is absolutely not a good way to indicate what a rum may taste like, nor is it good for specifying rums in drink recipes. I might have even done it and it ended up cut from the final version, but most of 2015 is sort of hazy so I’m not sure. If you limited yourself to the ingredients from the first palette, you could probably approximate a Donn Beach recipe from the early days of Tiki.

It’s thoroughly readable and provides a gentle introduction for the newcomer enthusiast while still dropping plenty of tidbits to keep the hardcore rum and Tiki zanies happy.Although many bars include fire as part of their Tiki drink experience, most of them simply light overproof rum on fire, which yields only a small, blue flame. Although Martinique today makes nearly all of its rhum today from sugar cane juice (rhum “agricole”), it once made a substantial amount of molasses-based rhum–until a volcano explosion in 1902 wiped out many of the larger molasses-based distilleries.
