“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.

Author Jeff Peddle—a former George Street bouncer, rum collector, and part-time philosopher—dives deep into the dark, sweet, and spicy history of the world’s most rebellious spirit.

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

Whether you’re a bartender, history buff, or just a curious sipper, this book is for you.
