Rum

What is Rum? Rum is the spirit obtained from the distillation of sugar cane. We have two types: the best, the most valuable, the agricultural rum, which is produced starting from the distillation of all the juice of sugar cane and the traditional rum, distilled from molasses. The molasses is certainly not the raw material of high quality, but only a vague reference to the cane as a flavor and in addition contains the highest sugar content. It was born and developed in the Caribbean, as a food, and was a fundamental part of the daily diet of sailors, slaves and settlers. There are three basic groups of rums: Rum from countries with an English colony, such as Barbados, Jamaica, Trinidad, Guiana and the area bordering the river Demerara; Rhum from countries with a French colony such as Haiti and Martinique; and finally the Ron coming from countries with a Spanish colony, such as Cuba, Colombia, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Puerto Rico, Venezuela.
