" This weekend marks the release of the long-gestating movie adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson&amp;#039;s The Rum Diary, much to the author&amp;#039;s chagrin. As evidenced above and right here, Thompson was not known for his patience or tact, and those production delays kind of pissed him off. He did, however, know his rum \u2014 The Rum Diary was written during his early journalism career, when he spent his time hanging out in the Caribbean. And for good reason. As our own Leslie Pariseau wrote in her comprehensive guide to the liquor, &amp;quot;Rum is a truly American spirit: roguish, rascally, and surprisingly complex.&amp;quot; Sort of like Thompson himself.
