JenTiki, I love the book, but I'm not sure I'm completely on board with the rum classification system. Feels like it makes things more complicated, not less, I have to keep referring to the chart. Hi Scaramouch; JenTiki is spot on, she's giving you good advice. As for the classification system Martin devised, I actually think it's pretty brilliant. It's not more complicated, it's just that nobody has seen it before. In the book, he suggests putting the numbers as labels on the bottles, doing this will speed up your mixing to be as fast as anything else. I have not gone through that effort, personally I'd rather learn for myself which rums apply to a particular number, but maybe I just like to do things the hard way :wink:
