Preorder Modern Caribbean Rum, Polynesiacs and Minimalist Tiki

General
1

Good news everybody! We are getting a new shipment from Wonkpress in November and preorders are open. :partying_face: :partying_face:

I have gotten a lot of requests in the last few weeks and months about Modern Caribbean Rum, so that @Oliver and I decided to order another pallet with books from Matt.

Besides MCR and Minimalist Tiki, we will also get the new Polynesiacs (by Tiki Tom-Tom aka Tom Jaynes), which documents the Tiki nerd bars and homes of the US. Available for the first time in EU :slight_smile:

You can use the following links to jump directly in the RumX app marketplace:

The books will arrive in November and we are very confident to shipp everything out before end of November. Just in time for Christmas :slight_smile:

That’s great news because unfortunately I have missed the first shipment of the MCR and it seems to be mandatory to have in your background for any Rum related photo you take :smiley: :innocent:

Oops – he did it again!
Matt Pietrek @cocktailwonk just announced, that he managed to accomplish another book on Rum:
„Exploring 300 Years of Royal Navy Rum and Its Techniques“
in collaboration with Alexandre Gabriel from Planteray and the release of their Navy Rum „Mister Fogg“.
I’m looking forward to read this – admittedly very special interest – tome as well und would love to purchase it from armagnac.de again. Do you agree @Junsas ?

So, I talked to Matt yesterday: The book will not be published under WonkPress but Planteray is fully in charge of the release. He was hired to do the research, but he is not the pusblisher like with e.g. MCR. At the moment it is not yet decided how it will be released exactly. To be defined by Planteray/Ferrand.

Books on rum - any recommendations?

Exactly this. Discussions are underway about how to get the book out there. But ultimately my work is just part of a larger Planteray project.

Guten Morgen Junsas, Du bist wahrscheinlich schon wieder im Kontakt mit Matt Pietrek bzgl. seines jetzt unter dem Titel „The Rum never sets“ herauskommenden Buchs. Ich melde hier schon mal Interesse an einem Exemplar an, solltet ihr wieder eine Sammelbestellung organisieren. Danke.

I’m really interested too, and shipping to Europe is really expensive for one book.

Unfortunately we had some other topics distracting us, but will clarify shipping this week and have the books in time for Christmas if all goes well. I will report back end of the week with an update!

Short Update: Order is now fixed with Tequila Ambassador, The Rum Never Sets and Minimalist Tiki included. Unfortunately the new print run of MCR is delayed, so we will get only 4x MCR books this time. We will get more once the new books arrive, which will be only in 2026 though.

The books will arrive middle to late November, depending on how fast customs is. So everybody who needs a Christmas gift (for yourself?) can get books in time!

Btw: Prices are not yet 100% fixed (customs fees), but due to higher volumes, we will be cheaper than most other EU shops :slight_smile: So if you can wait a bit, it will be worthwile!
