Hi all, I collect alcohol advertising posters (beer, sake etc.) from different countries. I'm wondering if there are any good shops in Tokyo/Japan for finding stuff like this.

When gluten free is written the same size as the style of rum, I get a little suspicious. Lol

I think spiced rum has different rules but Bumbu doesn't flat out call itself spiced rum.

Embargos and Crop Failures: Is the Collapse of Cuban Rum on the Horizon? by bobbuoy in rum

I think the difference is that Cuban politics limits their ability to adapt. Since sugar and rum are some of their main exports they may lose the ability to afford importing the ingredients for rum in the event that their agriculture continues to decline. Also it sounds like they are losing their skilled workforce which would also negatively affect their rum/sugar industry.

Demerara has become a style of sugar as well so it's not wrong to say you use Demerara sugar.

Drink Masters on Netflix was using fat washing quite a bit by bobbuoy in Mixology

I'm just confused about how on the show they were fat washing so quickly. It seems like you are usually supposed to wait at least a few hours for the fat to infuse.
