Author Lynn Hoffman (\u003ci\u003eThe Short Course in Beer\u003c\/i\u003e) originally set out to study rum as a refined, serious liquor—something to be enjoyed in snifters and discussed with reverence. He believed rum belonged among the great spirits of the world, rivaling single-malt Scotch whisky and standing just below cognac.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut as Hoffman tasted and researched more deeply, his purist assumptions gave way to discovery. Rum revealed itself as a spirit of remarkable diversity and creativity—one that refuses to be confined to a single style or tradition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThroughout \u003ci\u003eThe Short Course in Rum\u003c\/i\u003e, Hoffman uncovers rum’s many historical identities—Rumbullion, Kill-Devil, Demon Rum, and more—while tracing its connections to the sugar trade, the American Revolution, abolitionists, Prohibition, alchemy, and global commerce. Along the way, he explores decadent desserts, innovative cocktails, and the modern craft distilling movement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom small-batch craft distilleries to inspired bartenders pushing the boundaries of flavor, this book celebrates rum as both a historic spirit and a modern creative force.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInside This Book, You’ll Discover:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe world’s best wood-aged sipping rums\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eClassic and modern rum cocktail recipes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe secrets to creating your own signature rum drinks\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eBehind-the-scenes adventures of working in a small craft rum distillery\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Short Course in Rum\u003c\/i\u003e is part history, part tasting guide, and part love letter to one of the most versatile spirits ever made.
