"Rum isn't just a drink-it's a story in a bottle. And this book? It's a whole shelf of them."
From the salty winds of the Caribbean to the snowy shores of Newfoundland, Rum 101 for Dummies Like Me takes you on a wild, witty, and eye-opening journey through the world of rum.

You'll explore:
The brutal origins of rum during the slave trade
The role rum played in wars, pirate ships, and Prohibition
Newfoundland's love affair with Lamb's, Screech, and Jamaica
Sailor tattoos, the real McCoy, Captain Morgan's tsunami-wrecked grave, and more
A whole lot of laughs, facts, and "Newfie" rum tales to boot
