The Crazy History of Rum | Miss Brewbird

I've distilled a lot of rum in my videos, but today I'd like to go over the wild history of rum and its ties to slavery, the Caribbean, and prohibition. We'll also go over terms such as "rum row", "Nelson's blood", and "rumbustion". So let's find out more about the crazy history of rum! Special thanks to Sam Evans from the Shakespeare Distillery for doing all the research for this video. #rumhistory #ediblehistory #whatisrum

Can't wait to start doing our own rum too, now that we've got licences to distil anything we want as of today! Woohoo!

[@MissBrewbird]

Long awaited new episode finally materialized. This time Miss Brewbird gives us an interesting recount of the history of how rum was being created and became a popular alcoholic drink in modern times. Informative and educational. Thanks,.

Are we just going to ignore the stock clip of some dude from the 1700s shooting himself in the face at 3:47 ?

[@raffaelespallarossa1310]

Very interesting. I enjoyed it

My wife was enjoying a rum & Coke as we watched. Enjoyed your video! Love the way you dissect history and make it interesting. Rum is very contemporary in the sense of taking a waste steam problem and turning it into a cash cow. Grappa is also turning would be compost into treasure, well at least well crafted grappa. I have heard some grappa should have been composted.

[@ianholmes6078]

I knew quite a bit of rum history, however this video further expanded that. Great stuff!

[@MissBrewbird]

Awesome, thank you!

[@scottclay4253]

(Posted too early, too old and dumb to edit) please continue your work, Brewbird, I have come to treasure each second of your posts. Your craftsmanship in creating your work shines through. My son has a small channel as well, critically watching his growth had made me a keen observer and strong supporter of yours. I wish you well and believe you will join Jesse, Bearded, George, Mark and even Ralfy in the KZbin pantheon of beloved teachers.

[@MissBrewbird]

You're too kind

[@JacobFisher]

I had no idea the history of rum! Though I am a little disappointed I didn't see any pirates of the Caribbean references

[@MissBrewbird]

ooh, you're so right. Missed opportunity there.

[@top6ear]

I use a combo of sugar and molasses. Mostly sugar.

[@iwayanendrayana429]

What a great history, highly apreciated

[@MissBrewbird]

thank you!

[@puffstastypuffs5192]

Awsome 👌

[@MissBrewbird]

Thanks 🤗

[@shimshimmash1179]

Another interesting video, thanks! By the way, how did your module 2 exam go? I was a little taken aback by how tough this one was

[@MissBrewbird]

I think it went well. I was happy we didn't have to draw any diagrams, so I think that made things a bit easier for me.

[@markfung5654]

Thx

[@gabrielmoreira976]

Great video

[@MissBrewbird]

Thanks!😄

Craft Botanical Rum is going to be the next global craze overtaking gin soon.

[@MissBrewbird]

Yes, people have been telling me that craft rum is going to be the new craft gin.

[@JasonBelliveau]

So far homemade coconut rum is topping my favorite drink this year. So I can see things like this taking off fast. There is a local place here that is doing a rum letting it sit in an oak cask and then back sweetening it with maple syrup. I keep meaning to try it but it sells out fast.

[@tonyoliver4920]

16ltr per year. At what ABV? I’m sorry inclined to believe that’s more like 16 ltr of sugar wash.. or 16ltr if cider and calling it brandy

[@MissBrewbird]

16 litres per year doesn't sound like too much to me. You can check this article out: ushistoryscene.com/article/american-drinking/

[@tonyoliver4920]

Americans drank an average of thirty-four gallons of beer and cider, five gallons of distilled spirits, and one gallon of wine per year in 1790. five gallons of distilled spirits, So that more like 23 litres WOW

[@CaptainJackSparrowSavvy]

Mmmm… Rum.

[@scottgibson6735]

Nice video,it doesn’t hurt,that you are hot. I have been a rum afficionado. For nearly fifty years. Thank you for the video

[@MissBrewbird]

😂lol, thanks

[@nellynelson965]

Im not putting my blood in any rum.

[@tonyoliver4920]

Medicinal purposes? Sure, that’s why I drink buckfast tonic wine… it’s medicinal! Oh, no, wait… it’s cause I’m from Glasgow and if you tell someone here it’s healthy, they will either (1) attempt to deep fry it (2) stop drinking it Addendum (1) let’s ask Dazza (2) turps anyone?

[@godjhaka7376]

Soon as you said Columbus, I knew this is "the white version his-story of rum"

[@edwardfletcher7790]

If you're serious about growing your channel you need to address to audio and lighting problems....

[@MissBrewbird]

Yes I know, I think I have my lightning fixed now. Not sure I have the audio right yet.
