Description
The Caribbean is seen differently far from the deckchairs. With a backpack over the shoulder, one has to deal with crazy drivers, Zika mosquitoes and many other genres of pests. And since every trip needs a beacon and a guide, why not rum? Omnipresent, self-defining, distilled with blood and black tears, seasoned in the seven seas as a drink for sea dogs. Spanish, English, French, Dutch... Each and every one of these Caribbean Islands claims to be the homeland of the best rum.
This book follows sugarcane’s trail, the slimy imprint of slavery through old haciendas, plantations, distilleries, and bars. Along the way, the remains of glory and decadence of an empire on which the sun never set crosses paths with Treasure Island and Moby Dick, Horace Nelson’s mortuary vat, as well as that of cannibals and pirates in the New World.
