You know Leandro, you would be the perfect guy to write a complete beginner book for cocktail lovers and first timers alike . Including different shaking and stirring techniques, glassware, ice , bartools , spirits , and garnishes, must know classics , great moderns , interesting tikis , maybe some of your own originals . Whether it’s history, flavors , ingredient interactions, you explain everything so simply yet perfectly that even an amateur 16 year old like me who has only poured whiskey for my dad can understand 😂😂😂. Think about it , I’d definitely buy the hell out of it!
Good rule to remember which countries use the E in Whisky/Whiskey: If the country has an E in the name, they generally add the E, if not then they generally omit it.
Except us here in New Zealand 😬
Nor in the Netherlands
Sweden? Germany? England? I don’t think so…
A while episode dedicated to rum, please. Making emphasis in its flavor profile and what cocktails traditionally uses that kind of (flavor profile) rum. Thanks!
Would love an episode fully devoted to rum, especially since it's such a diverse category of spirits that it deserves a full dive. Great video as always btw ^^
Really appreciate your commitment to being nuanced while presenting on rum types
Cool vid Leandro. I use Martin Cate/Smugglers Cove approach to classify rum as a template. Fermentation (Molasses, Sugar Cane Juice), Production Method (Pot, Column, Blend), and then age duration (Lightly Aged, Aged, Long Aged).
As a biochemistry prof, you nailed the names of the congeners.
Thanks for actually going into Seale’s classification system. It was great to see it laid out like that.
Great introduction too both spirits. Hearing you talking about it made it way easier for me than actually reading this information. Thank you for putting it so well 🙏🏽!
Look forward to your future 101’s ^_^!
Great job with the rum explanation! Cant wait for a deep dive!
Happy to see Old Line and Sagamore on your bar, cheers from B-more and thanks for the video.
Awesome job on explaining rum succinctly and clearly!
Amazing how much information you squeezed into 10 minutes ! Would be happy to see a longer video regarding just the Rum, such an interesting topic, cheers 🍻
Nicely done. Looking forward to the deep dive into Rum.
I really enjoy these episodes. Please keep 'em coming!
Love this format of vid. Cheers 🥃
Thank you very much for share this detailed information. It was very interesting and didactic.
Cheers!🎉
Love this ! Especially the Rum segment. I’d prefer “The Flavour Map” for classification, thanks for putting in so much work
Ooooo! Special effects! This was helpful. I hadn't run into the Rum Map or the Gargano Method, yet. Yes, have Matt Pietrek on! I heard him speak at the Hukilau in June.
What a great episode! Thank you.
Well done on your explanation, this video is awesome
Excellent discussion. Thanks for tackling the confusing subject of types of rum. I remain hopeful that one day recipes stop calling for "light" or "dark" rums.
Great upload and introduction!
love these types of videos
I am hosting a Whisk(e)y Tasting Event for the Whisky Club I belong to in early September, I will show this episode for the opening. The Rum description has to be best next to book “Smuggler’s Cove”
Right On Leandro!!!
A fairly comprehensive video covering two categories with only minor nitpicks‽ (in the whisk{e}y section, I'd have preferred a mention of different national minimum ABVs: e.g. Australia sells some bourbon at 37%; in between the sections, you could've mentioned that whiskey ages are always the youngest component but rums aren't so simple; discussing which additives are or are not allowed in different styles might be too far into the weeds) This is why, of the bartending generalists, your channel is my favorite!
Thanks for this! Incredibly informative. Do you think you could do one for the other kinds of liquors?
I’m going to do these for everything
More videos like this please!
If you're interested to delve deeper into either spirit, Whiskey tribe (top 10 lists, experiments, shenagians, etc.)/whiskey vault (strictly whiskey reviews) and Steve the Barman are great places to learn about whiskey or rum here on youtube!
As an entry into rum, I think the flavour map is much better at introducing people into understanding rum. I think though the more you get into it, the Gargano method is probably better at getting at categorizing rum
Great video, as always! What is your opinion regarding cachaça and rum agricole? Are they at all similar/interchangeable (including aged cachaça)? As someone from Brazil who has never tried agricole, I obviously have access to a lot of different types of cachaça, but rum agricole is a lot harder to find and more expensive.
Bro, in the rum part, when showing the map, in the "Spanish region" you wrote "Columbia", but correctly is Colombia. Columbia is in Canada. 😢 I know it is just a little detail, but as colombian, every time i see that mistake, I remark it.
Give us the Run Deep Dive! I feel like I know only basic "rum" and I want to know how to dive into the deep end and know the different profiles and how to drink/mix them. Also how to make a rum drink for non-rum(aka: they only know bacardi and coke) drinkers (aka. my wife)
Hey Leandro!
Loved the video, I’m a Rum lover myself, and I work at a Rum distillery in Australia.
I was wondering if I could send you a bottle from the distillery I work at? Or maybe a few?
The premium bottle we make recently won worlds best rum at the London distillers awards a few months ago.
I’d love to see your take on it and see what you think.
Martin Cate has a pretty good classification system in his book Smuggler's Cove
Once again a great video, Leandro! I really dig the explanation video although I've seen so many before. You really do it well.
Just one minor point of criticism: when you have a video of mostly you talking, the camera focus might be better placed on your face rather than the bottles in front of you. It was a bit irrtating. Otherwise another great video!
I learned something. I still can't walk into a liquor store and know what I am really buying when buying rum. As you said... without research. Damn, why can't they put some of this on the bottle. I don't want to be on my phone googling a ton of info while in a store. I look forward to your more in-depth look at rum. I am starting to like it (dare I say) more than bourbon... particularly because of the wider flavor profiles. I just don't have the money to buy 10 or 20 different bottles and take them home and do a tasting (and chance I don't like most of them). I have already spent a LOT of money on bourbon over the years (and a few other whiskeys) that I can comfortably want down an isle and look for something that peaks my interest... and I almost always like... a lot. Help me do the same with rum!!
Amazing as always
Before I get nitpicky? Or maybe not nitpicky but punctilious? This was a great episode!
4:15 - Yes *most* American whiskey is labeled with an 'e', but a growing number of craft distillers and even some old school giants spell it without an 'e'. Like Makers Mark for instance...
Even beyond that the ATF which regulates alcohol in the USA spells it without an 'e' Whisky in all of their publications and regulations. Strange.
haven't noticed that but that's interesting
Hi. What do you close the Japanese droppers with?
I have little rubber nipples that i put on them
Rum episode please!
It's interesting that the countries - Scotland, Japan, Canada - that have 'whisky 'don't have an 'e' in the name, whereas those that use the 'whiskey' spelling (America and Ireland) are written using the letter e
Leandro, you left out Canadian Whisky in your Whisk(e)y breakdown.
Yes realized that too late
A gotcha. Oh, also... you mispronounced "congener" lol@@TheEducatedBarfly
Amaro and vermouths next?
Yeah why not?
OFTD is a column still? That's surprising, I usually think of column stills as "clean but boring" rums. Maybe I have been too closed off to them ha.
Does Plantation flavour their rums?
Engagement.
These aren't useful categories because a "Pure single rum" from Jamaica and a "Pure single rum" from Barbados or Guyana basically arent interchangeable. A column still heavy blend from the DR, Puerto Rico, Cuba are actually pretty similar. I've had a lot of rum and I've never had a rum that wasn't from Jamaica that really had a Jamaican funk. I have a rum from New Orleans that sort of does, but I doubt anyone would taste it blind and think it's Jamaican.
I gotta stop watching these videos at high speed. I glanced up for a second and thought Starward Solera said "Star Wars". BTW, why can't we have a Star Wars themed line of alcohols? I feel like that is an untapped market. Get on it Disney!
I've been watching your channel for years now and that was a great flash guide to the world of whiskey and Rums really enjoyed the knowledge you supplied in brief form. When are you going to write a book on cocktails and why don't you have a million subs.
THAT is a good question 🤔
Rum deep dive, please!
Might be a good opportunity to collaborate with @CocktailWonk. His book, Modern Caribbean Rum is amazing.
One thing I'd also love to know about is the use of additives, seem to be a problem in rum just like they are for tequila.
I’d love to maybe do a livestream with Matt I know him and he’s very knowledgeable
