I do enjoy rum. I don’t really enjoy other brown liquor but I do enjoy rum. Used as a base for a mix drink or for something more simple, I enjoy the molasses flavor and the vibe that comes with it! Having spent 10 years in the Royal Navy in the early part of my career I appreciate the links between rum and the Caribbean, and with the naval service. This link goes back to the mid 17th century when a Royal Navy fleet captured the island of Jamaica while operating against pirates and privateers. A by-product of the capture was ready access to sugar fields and large supplies of rum, so navy supply chiefs changed the sailors’ daily ration of french brandy to be a ration of rum instead.
