WHAT IS RUM?

WHAT IS RUM?
Rum is distilled from sugar cane juice and/or molasses.
It is aged in barrels to impart additional flavours. The first true
rums were made in the Caribbean during the early 17th century
by fermenting the molasses left over from refining sugar into a
heady liquor.
Barbados is held by many to be the birthplace of rum. Rum is
one of the major liquors in the world, with a history steeped in
the myths of piracy, the Caribbean, and slavery.
Others include Bacardi and Captain Morgan.
