The best rums served in gastronomic restaurants

There is a place where you will surely find exceptional food and wine, that is gastronomic restaurants. These restaurants maintain a constant discipline to propose the most creative and delicious menus. Most gastronomic restaurants propose several rums on their menu including recipes using rum. Therefore, they must offer to their customers, and incorporate in their wine menu the greatest rums. Each alcohol, each rum must be fit to appear on their wine list, because the reputation of the restaurant is at stake. Gastronomic restaurants acquire their prestige by proposing the finest wines and spirits, which requires several years work. To be considered as references, restaurants must look for the prefect, the ultimate rum. Gastronomic restaurants naturally offer the most delectable rums.

The best rums according to chefs and wine waiters in gastronomic restaurants

A renowned restaurant is always owned by a great chef who is the star of the famous names in catering. These professionals of good food and wine, excel through their high standards and precision. The chef in a gastronomic restaurant must choose the best ingredients and the most creative dishes for his menu. He must also ensure that his menu is accompanied by the best references in wines and spirits. To do this, each chef in a gastronomic restaurant is accompanied by an experienced sommelier. The sommeliers have to enrich the wine menu with exceptional wines and spirits and therefore rum.  They can also advise specific rum references to their customers, according to their tastes and desires.

 Chefs and sommeliers work as a team whose aim is to propose an exceptional culinary experience. Together they enhance their wine list with rum references, which they choose by visiting agricultural land, producers and distilleries in a constant search for the most excellent rum. These professionals regularly taste new rums and discover novelties which will be the loveliest bottles of years to come. The wine list in a gastronomic restaurant which includes rums is the result of years of work, skill and experience. These high-quality rums are the fruit of tastings, discussions and opinion sharing. So, chefs and sommeliers share their experiences and their points of view to only select the rums that fit their high standards for their wine menu and bar.

A good rum is also the result of a production and therefore, a producer. Behind each rum are men, professionals, who are most of all passionate about the fabrication of these delicious drinks. Each rum producer has his own recipe, uses his own specific method and tools. Each distillery is different and offers a different type of rum. A good rum is also the land where the precious sugar cane, used to make rum, is grown. Rum is a liquor from the Americas. It is produced by the distillation of fermented by-products of the sugar or treacle industry, known as industrial or traditional rum or from the fermented juice of sugar cane known as agricultural rum. Rum can be consumed white, aged in a barrel (old rum), or spicy (which gives a darker or lighter amber colour). Rum is, therefore, a subtle alcoholic drink which requires skill in its conception and perfection. By consequence selecting rum is the result of meetings between passionate producers and professionals who value skills, traditions and an authentic terroir.

The Best Rums on the Wine list of prize-winning gastronomic restaurants

The prestige of a gastronomic restaurant can be measured in several different ways. Customer satisfaction and the acclaim of colleagues in other gastronomic restaurants are one of the loveliest rewards. Other prizes exist to classify and categorize the best addresses in restaurants. Amongst them, the Michelin Guide is the most honorific title for a restaurant. The Michelin Guide has an uncompromising jury, which awards the greatest names in catering with one or several stars. These stars recompense all the services in the restaurant and consequently the wine menu with its different rum references.

The inspectors representing the jury only judge “what is on the plate” and therefore what is in the glass of rum. The stars only reward the quality of the cooking and its ingredients, notably rums.

The Michelin Guide stars enable the restaurant’s wine list and consequently the quality of it’s rums to be classed:

• 3 stars indicate that “the cooking, and rums are remarkable and are well worth a visit to the restaurant.”
• 2 stars means that “the restaurant, and rums are excellent and should be tried.”
• 1 star signals a “good restaurant and good rum in its category.”

Benefit from the remarks of the most exacting jury to choose an excellent rum.

For a good inexpensive rum!

When I was looking for a good rum I always wondered which reference to choose. Each expert oenologist, wine merchant, guide or producer can share his more or less pertinent opinion.

There are many different rums, whose origins and method of conception differ. It can be difficult therefore, to choose a good inexpensive rum when you are only an amateur of rum and not an expert.

During a meal in a gastronomic restaurant, I was able to discover and taste a particularly exquisite rum. A reference which was far better than any others I had tasted before. Since then, I only buy rum which I find on the wine menu of gastronomic restaurants. This is how I created Bestwine • Online, to list all the best rums served in gastronomic restaurants.

I personally use Bestwine • Online when I buy a bottle of rum to enrich my bar or offer a good bottle to a friend. With Bestwine • Online I would also like to propose to everyone the greatest rums in the opinion of chefs and sommeliers of gastronomic restaurants.
