RUM

Real rum is a spirit that is made from sugar cane or molasses, a by -product of sugar production. The manufacturing process begins with the extraction of sugar cane juice or molasses, which are then fermented with yeast to convert the sugar into alcohol. The liquid is then distilled to increase the alcohol content.

Depending on the distillation process, the taste of the rum can vary. The distillation in trolley gives a stronger, fuller rum, while the distillation in columns results in a lighter rum. Many rums also ripen in oak barrels, which makes them softer and more complex in taste. The maturation can take years and contributes significantly to the development of the flavors.

There are different types of drums. White rum is bright and rather mild in taste, while darker rum gets a deeper color and more complex flavors through longer maturation. Gold rum lies in between and gets a gold color and a balanced aroma due to a shorter maturation in barrels. Spiced rum is moved with spices such as vanilla or cinnamon and therefore has a particularly aromatic taste.

Real rum can be found in many cocktails such as Mojito or Daiquiri, but can also be enjoyed pure to experience the diversity and depth of the flavors. Depending on the variety and origin, Rum offers a wide range of flavors from fruity and sweet to spicy and strong.
