The Complete Guide to Rum    

“Edward Hamilton has done a great service to the entire rum drinking world with his “Complete Guide to Rum”. Whether a professional in the spirits industry, a seasoned connoisseur of fine rums, or simply a person that enjoys re-living Caribbean cruises gone by, this is an outstanding resource that should not be missed. The author has gone to great lengths to maintain a sense of objectivity and there is no sense that big marketing dollars play any role whatsoever in his astute observations. Great attention is paid to both the rums and the unique cultures that produce them. Bravo Mr. Ed Hamilton!“ (Review by John Moore)

The Rum Experience    

"Rum surely has no better ambassador than Luis Ayala. In his hands the rich and colorful history of rum comes alive, so vividly you can almost smell and taste the properties of this truly legendary libation. From New Zealand to Barbados, Venezuela to Puerto Rico, Ayala has sampled the rums of the world to compile a definitive history of rum as well as the most comprehensive tasting portfolio available to rum connoisseurs. Ayala speaks and writes passionately about a spirit that is as elegant and sophisticated as the world's finest cognac, brandy and bourbon. As the cocktail culture brings us closer to rum - the first and most versatile cocktail spirit - we begin to see rum's important place in mixology. The daiquiri and the mojito are perfect starting-off points to learn about rum's finer incarnations. From the shaker to the snifter sipper, Ayala covers all types of rum and rum experiences. This book is a must for anyone who wants to learn more about rum or is already engaged in an enthusiastic affair with the world's most lively and famous spirit." (Greg Morago, The Hartford Courant)

Spirit of Bermuda    

Cooking with Gosling's Black Seal Rum. By Edward Bottone. The Spirit of Bermuda is one of the most pleasant rum-based cookbooks we've reviewed in a long time. Not only does it present the reader with a rich and diverse selection of recipes, it also offers instruction as to the origin of traditional recipes and historical facts about Bermuda. Needless to say, all the recipes use Bermuda's one and only Gosling's Black Seal Rum.

The book's list of chapters will quickly give you an idea as to the depth of the research that author and friend Edward Bottone went through in order to create this piece: "Introduction," "The Bermuda Bar," "Soups & Starters," "Main Courses," "Sides, Salads & Sandwiches," "Cooking Outdoors," "Holiday Traditions" and "Desserts." One of the favorite spring time fruits at the Ayala household (in central Texas) is loquat. Much to our surprise, browsing through the Spirit of Bermuda we learned that loquats are as abundant in Bermuda as palm trees are in the tropics. These recipes are:

Loquat Liqueur, Duck with Loquat Sauce, Loquat Chutney, Loquat Cheesecake, Loquat Upside-Down Cake and Loquat Jam.

The book is beautifully bound and illustrated. It comes in a colorful hardcover presentation (approximately 7.25" wide by 8.25" tall). It has 132 pages and can be obtained directly from Gosling's website at: www.blackseal.com. Tthis is one of the best-valued additions to every rum lover’s library.

Tempered by Rum - Rum in the History of the Maritime Provinces    

For over 300 years rum has played an important yet neglected role in the history and culture of Atlantic Canada. The "devil rum", "that old rummy", "a tot of rum" and "rum running" are just a few of the common expressions that refer often disparagingly, to this alcoholic beverage that is familiar to all and perhaps too familiar to some. Despite its notoriety, little has been written about the favoured drink of the Maritimes. This volume which brings together a number of papers on the RCN, rum running, taverns, and trade provides an excellent overview of the impact of rum in the Atlantic region.

Family Spirits    

What's the bestselling liquor brand in the world?
What's one of the great untold business successes of 20th century?
What Cuban family has waged war against Fidel Castro over since his coup thirty years ago?
All three questions have the sane answer: Bacardi. Since the late 1970s Bacardi rum has been the world's number-one spirit brand. Yet few people outside the industry know that Bacardi is a private, family-controlled group of companies, and fewer still - even people in the industry - know much about the family.
Since the business was founded in Cuba in the mid-1800s, it has been intertwined with Cuban revolution. Following Castro's coup, in 1959, Bacardi's extensive Cuban assets were expropriated, and the family members were forced to leave the island. They resettled in Miami and Nassau, Bermuda and Mexico, Canada and Spain.
Part business book and part family saga, Family Spirits is set against the broader background of Cuban history, the rapidly changing global liquor industry, and the twentieth century battle between Communism and Capitalism.
