Yo Ho Ho And A Bottle Of Rum

History of Rum

Rum extracted liquor made from sugar cane crops, is a by-product of sugar produce molasses. At some point in the 1600s, somebody distilled this fermented molasses, and rum was born. Later on, the refinement of these alcoholic spinoffs intense the alcohol by removing impurities, creating the primary true rums. 

It was called “rumbullion” and by 1660’s was abbreviated to rum. For rums from Spanish colonies the word ron is utilized and ron añejo implies a aged rum. Rhum is used for rums from French colonies, whilst rhum vieux is termed an aged French rum. It incorporates light weight-bodied rums, typified by those of Central America and Puerto Rico, and the stronger and richer-flavored rums of Barbados, Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago. 

Types of Rum

Distillers can produce infinite types of rums by using various purification methods. The classes and differences applied to explain rum vary on the place where a rum was produced. The main varieties are Gold rums, light rum, Dark rums and Flavored/ Aromatic rums .
