Rum

  • Chapter

Abstract

The word rum conjures up sun drenched Caribbean beaches, lined with palm trees reflecting in deep blue seas, surrounded by coral fringed islands which make up the archipelago which arcs east and south, from Jamaica, Cuba to Trinidad and Tobago and thence to Demerara in Guyana on the north east shoulder of the South American continent.
