There doesn’t appear to be a rum timeline anywhere on the net, or at least not a comprehensive one. All of this information has been colated from other websites and a couple of books, i’ve just put it in order with dates.
It would be pretty cool if this resource could grow, so if you have any interesting and relevant dates or facts in rums history drop a comment and i’ll include it. [...]
Just thought i’d share (the picture of) my signed bottle of Pampero Anniversario, scrawled on by none other than the master distiller of Pampero, Luis Figueroa.
It’s pretty cool because the bottle comes in a kind of suede sack, so I can drink the rum and replace the empty bottle with a new one, but still have the signature on the sack! [...]
Stephen Morrissey is the 2008 World Barista Champion, well done mate!
I remember chatting to Stephen at this years UKBC before he had competed in Ireland, we spoke about competition etc. and now he’s only gone and beat everyone! Great for Square Mile Coffee as well since he used coffee from the new roastery, roasted by none other than Anette Moldvaer who roasted the winning baristas (James Hoffmann) coffee last year!
Earlier I got a very excited phone call from Sarah, Hugo’s other half and the brains behind the WBC operation. Hugo came 10th overall which is a brilliant result and a credit to the UK and Cornwall. I sat down with a shot of his espresso blend earlier and I have to say: it’s a cracker! [...]

Glencinchie is one of only three remaining Lowland malt distilleries, it was established in 1825 and is situated about 20-30 minutes form Edinburgh. They operate tours for all visitors but I felt like we received some extra attention during our stay from Bill who has been involved with whisky for decades. [...]
The 2008 World Barista Championship will be taking place at the SCAE Wonderful Coffee show in Copenhagen this week from 19-22nd June.
Representing Cornwall UK is Hugo, who I have trained with a lot in the past and I know his routine as well as anyone. I reckon Hugo’s strengths lie in (as well as great coffee) his personable charm and his ability to cope with the pressure well.Hugo is competing in the middle of the day on 19th. [...]
Check out what else is occurring in the world of The Wild Drink Blog.
Check out Steve Leighton's video coffee cupping blog... really cool.
- #Internet masturbation it may be, but a google.co.uk of "drink blog" brings TWDB out at the top of the page. The same on google.com brings TWDB out second from the top.
- #Upgrading wordpress is nver as easy as it should be, this time it managed to log me out and made it impossible to get back in. For a moment I thought the blog was going to sit here like a vegetable forever.
- #Keep track of those noisy commenters and their opinions.
Fit in. Be like everyone else. Look at these...
