What is Rum? Science, History, Alchemy, and Tasting 13 Bottles | How to Drink

Diving into the history of rum, but more importantly, the flavor.

**********************************

In this episode of How to Drink I'm talking a bit about the history of rum, a bit about the science of rum, a bit about alchemy, but mostly I'm tasting 13 bottles that I think are representative of the base types of rum you need to know to start understanding the stuff.

I'm aided by two books in this journey into inebriation:
