I went the opposite way: loved rhum first, only got into whisky recently—and turns out I prefer the very peated ones. Not what they say newbies usually go for. Maybe starting with rhum helped me get it faster? I bet it works in reverse too. Just skip the sweet rhums and go straight to the dry stuff—like the ones I listed in my cast.

Great rum is meant to be savoured, not slammed. Take your time, explore the aromas, pair it well, and let it tell its story. Enjoy the journey—just don’t race through the bottles. Drink with joy, drink with moderation.

Rum starts out crystal clear—pure alcohol is always white before aging. It’s the oak casks that give it that amber color, along with notes of vanilla, spice, and toast. Barrels “breathe”: they let a bit of air in, some alcohol out (the angels’ share), and infuse the rum with their soul. No oak, no magic.

Ever heard of the "angels’ share"? It’s the part of the rum that evaporates during aging in barrels. In the Caribbean, heat makes barrels breathe fast—up to 10% can vanish per year! So while angels sip generously, what's left gets richer, smoother, and more intense.

Martinique – Rhum Agricole Blanc "La Perle" (A1710, 2022 vintage) Surprisingly rich for a white rum. Hints of seafood (yes, mussels!) and a deep iodine finish. Great with almond financiers. 54.5° – €45/btl

Did you know? Aging rum in the Caribbean isn't the same as aging whisky in Scotland. Tropical heat speeds up maturation—so a 3-year-old rum can have the depth and complexity of a 15-year-old Scotch. The angels get a bigger share, but what's left is pure gold.
