How to taste rum
There is a good, short article on Cocktail Times about how to taste rum, written by a guy who does it for a living. I don't know much about rum yet, but I intend to learn. Like tasting other spirits, the three parts to study are the nose, the body, and the tail (aka aroma, tasting, finish).
In San Francisco, the bar everyone associates with rum is Hobson's Choice, which is a semi-divey place they call a Victorian Punch House with many nooks and crannies for sitting and sipping. I really like the layout of the place, though the weekend crowds can be obnoxious. I've heard they offer a rum flight where you can taste a few small samples off a list (they serve 60 in all) for a set price.
Don't you think someone should open a pirate-themed rum bar? That would be hot. And why not? In New York there is a ninja-themed restaurant.
