The Rum Experience, back in print

Originally published in 2001, "The Rum Experience" quickly became an industry reference. The book includes almost 500 different rums from 46 different countries, 143 distillers/blenders and features 231 rum cocktail recipes!

"Keeping up with the book-selling business started to affect our rum-consulting practice," said author Luis Ayala. "It became an easy decision to stop publishing while we focused on the most pressing aspect of our practice," he added.

The number of inquiries and requests for additional copies of the book finally was too much to resist and, after being out of print for the past 4 years, The Rum Experience, Collector's Edition is finally back, with work already underway for an updated and enhanced 2nd Edition.
