One of the world’s most versatile drinks, rum is also intrinsically linked with the history and culture of its origins in the Caribbean. The earliest references to sugarcane spirit production in the region date back to 1647, and through innovative techniques like oak barrel ageing, rum quickly gained a foothold in global markets and earned its place as a highly sought-after commodity during the golden age of piracy in the years 1690-1720.

Throughout the islands of the region – from Belize right across the Caribbean Sea to Barbados – there is a grand tradition of rum production, with traditional family-owned brands practising a variety of methods of fermentation, distillation, casking and blending just as intricate and distinct as the Scotch whisky industry.

In recognition of this a new three-tiered Authentic Caribbean Rum marque has been established as an assured sign of quality and provenance and as a proud symbol of a heritage stretching back four centuries.

Helping us to explore the world of authentic Caribbean rum is Ian Burrell, host of our WebTV show but mostly known as ‘Mr Rum’. A well-known London mixologist and organiser of the 2007 UK Rum Festival, there is no-one better equipped this side of the Atlantic to give us an inside track on producing, appreciating and mostly importantly drinking a drop of the good stuff. Ian Burrell joins us live online at www.webchats.tv... on Wednesday 15th July from 1500 to 1530 time to discuss Rums of the Caribbean
