Rum

According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, rum is a distilled liquor made from sugarcane products, usually produced as a by-product of sugar manufacture. It includes both the light-bodied rums, typified by those of Cuba and Puerto Rico and the heavier and fuller-flavored rums of Jamaica.

Rums originated in the West Indies and are first mentioned in records from Barbados in about 1650. They were called “kill-devil” or “rumbullion” and by 1667 were simply called rum.

Most rums are made from molasses, the residue remaining after the sugar has been crystallized from sugarcane juice, containing as much as 5 percent sugar. Some countries import molasses for use in rum production. Where sugar industries are undeveloped, rum is often made with sugarcane juice.

The sugar necessary for fermentation is already present in the raw material, and rum retains more of the original raw-material taste than most other spirits. The characteristic flavor of specific rums is determined by the type of yeast employed for fermentation, the distillation method, aging conditions, and blending.

The heavy, dark, and full-bodied rums are the oldest type and have a strong molasses flavor. They are primarily produced in Jamaica, Barbados, and Demerara in Guyana.

The rum is distilled twice in simple pot stills, producing a distillate of clear color that turns to a golden hue as the distillate takes up substances from the oak of the wooden puncheons used for storage during the aging period. Color is deepened by the addition of caramel after aging.
