Rum

Topic

Rum is a distilled alcoholic beverage made from sugarcane byproducts, such as molasses or sugarcane juice, through a process of fermentation and distillation. Originating in the Caribbean during the 17th century, the clear distillate is typically aged in oak barrels to develop its distinct golden or dark color and flavor profile. Today, it is produced in nearly every major sugar-producing region of the world and is a key ingredient in many popular cocktails.
