Got mine as well, it’s thick. Waiting for my birthday though, before reading the first page.

Ich habe letzte Woche angefangen zu lesen und bin extrem begeistert. Inhaltlich als auch textlich.
Meine Englisch Kenntnisse sind „Medium“ und trotzdem ist das Buch sehr sehr gut zu lesen.
Für einige Begriffe brauche auch ich einen Übersetzer, aber das macht nix. Dann kann ich wenigstens etwas dazulernen wenn wir auch mal im Forum über diese Dinge auf englisch schreiben.
Kapitel 8 und es geht weiter….

Matt, in a number of fora, I have been reading that you, together with Alexandre Gabriel, are preparing a book about the history of the Navy rum. Do you know when this book will be available for purchase? I would love to get a copy

A good question. The answer is entirely up to Plantation.
I submitted my writings about the history (in book form) to Plantation in 2019, and was paid for it at that time. They’ve told me they intend to add their own technical material as additional chapters.
The project, and an associated rum, is still underway to my knowledge. I get occasional updates. But ultimately a release date is up to Plantation. As you know, they have many projects underway, and I imagine they need to spread out when they announce projects.

many thanks for your insight! I hope that it will not only be sold together with the reproduction of the early type Navy rum, and that it will not be ‚enriched‘ with too much marketing-type information.
