From aged gems to those that go great in a cocktail, these rums are must-haves for your liquor cabinet. What will we do with a drunken sailor? Frankly, I have no idea, however, I think it’s quite clear how said sailor got into that state in the first place. Rum, the drink of choice that spans the spectrum, from pirates to rockstars, aristocrats and students, all have enjoyed this liquor made from fermented and then distilled sugar cane molasses. This historic spirit is currently enjoying quite the moment, with burgeoning new brands popping out of the woodwork all the time. But what are the best rum brands in the world?

When it comes to bourbon whiskey, there are a lot of different terms you need to know to be fluent in the language of this corn-based spirit. Some of the more confusing terms include “cask strength,” “proof,” “bottle-in-bond,” and “straight.” These phrases need a little bit of explaining. But one that seems fairly straightforward is “store-pick.” But is it?

We're getting to the bottom of what a store-pick bourbon means

While some may find vanilla ice cream boring, it’s classic for a reason. Vanilla is simple (in the very best way) and versatile enough to pair well with pretty much everything, adding an a la mode touch to desserts like pies, brownies, and cakes or taking breakfast staples such as pancakes and waffles to the next level. To elevate a standalone scoop or two, all you need are a few toppings—cookie crumbles, fresh fruit, candy pieces, hot fudge, or caramel can quickly get the job done.

Bourbon and corn whiskey have a long history in Kentucky and Tennessee due to early westward expansion and the reality that corn was the grain at their disposal. Similarly, rye whiskey was king in the early northeastern United States because rye grew well in the region. Early styles of American whiskey were largely necessitated by local grain availability. It’s only been recently that whiskey distilled from barley has come onto the scene in America with any real scale. Washington is consistently one of the top five states for growing barley, so in keeping with historical precedent, the Pacific Northwest tends to gravitate toward the distillation of barley.

New Jersey State

Keyport, NJ

As if New Jersey’s most infamous linguistic spar wasn’t intense enough, one Garden State distillery is throwing alcohol on the fire. On June 28, Keyport-based 3BR Distillery released 011 PEC on Everything: a pork roll, egg, and cheese-flavored vodka liqueur. (Technically, given its 35-percent ABV, it falls under the U.S. classification of a liqueur, not a spirit.)

This Pork Roll, Egg, and Cheese-Flavored Vodka Is New Jersey in a Bottle

The Treacle No.1 is an Old Fashioned riff with a base of dark rum, combined with simple syrup, aromatic bitters, and an apple cider float. This simple cocktail came together in 1990s London, care of the late Dick Bradsell, the influential bartender behind modern classic creations like the Espresso Martini and the Bramble. Essentially a rum Old Fashioned with an apple cider float, the Treacle No.1 (sometimes just referred to as the Treacle) is one of Bradsell’s lesser-known but equally delicious creations.

This rum Old Fashioned, from the legendary bartender behind the Espresso Martini, tastes like a sticky toffee pudding.
