It’s an accepted truth in the drinks world that no spirit demonstrates as much diversity in style and breadth of range as rum. But while rum and its sugarcane kin have long been celebrated in carefree cocktails evoking the tropics, rum’s true story is much deeper, and sometimes darker. We’re taking a closer look at rum. But we’re also looking at the people and cultures with which rum’s history is indelibly entwined.

Independent bottlers of whiskey are quite common in Europe, but have only recently started to create a presence within American whiskey. Within the American whiskey community, independent bottlers seek to transparently feature exceptional casks from some of the best small distillers.

Ever come across a movie that has a 32 percent audience score but 90 percent critics score? That’s kind of like Riesling. Many wine drinkers avoid the grape due to its reputation as “sweet,” while sommeliers and wine professionals sing its praises as a complex, age-worthy, high-acid wine. In reality, Riesling takes on a wide range of expressions. Many examples are bone dry with laser-like acidity and a crisp mineral edge, while others offer ripe fruit flavors and, yes, a slight hint of sweetness

One of the main takeaways from “Castaway” and “Robinson Crusoe” is that being stranded alone on a deserted island would be — to put it lightly — a pretty dismal existence. Food isn’t a guarantee, inanimate objects become your only friends (looking at you, Wilson ), and you don’t know if or when you’ll ever be able to leave. Another losing quality in this scenario: Alcohol would likely be in short supply.
