by Luis K Ayala (Author)

“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)
