Présentation du Rhum

With summer on the horizon, mojitos and daiquiris are poised for heavy rotation on the patio circuit. But before you reach for the same old bottle of gold or spiced rum, consider an upgrade: rhum agricole. French for agricultural rum, rhum agricole is a unique style of rum that's finding its way into more American bars and liquor stores as demand for high-quality spirits continues to grow. Originating from the island of Martinique, where volcanic soil fosters prime growing conditions for sugar cane, rhum agricole differs from other rums in that it's made from distilled cane juice, rather than distilled molasses. Because its production process yields more flavors from actual sugar cane stalks than molasses-based rums, it's less saccharine. Especially for rum drinkers who've never strayed from mainstream white, gold and spiced rum, the taste of rhum agricole is an acquired one. Ben Jones, North American regional director and spokesman for Martinique-based Rhum Clement...

Some US Southerner Whites are a little bit black

A lot of Southern whites are a little bit black By Christopher Ingraham Reporter Dec. 22, 2014 Six million Americans who describe themselves as white have some African ancestry, according to a new study. In percentage terms, that means that roughly 3.5 percent of self-described white Americans have 1 percent or more African ancestry. To arrive at these numbers, researchers pored over the genetic records of 145,000 people who submitted a cheek swab for testing to 23andme, a private company that provides ancestry-related genetic reports. The researchers examined the genetic recordsof people of self-described European, African and Latino descent to find the genetic traces left by relatives long-since deceased. In order to hit that one percent threshold above, for instance, you'd have to have an African relative no further back than seven generations -- in other words, a great-great-great-great-great grandparent. And as you might expect, there are some fascinating differences in our...
