Rum

It's not just pirates who love rum. Here at CellarsMarket we have a soft spot for the sweet and sometimes spicy spirit.

Most people think of rum as a tropical drink, but it is so much more than that. Rum is a distilled alcoholic beverage made from sugarcane juice or molasses, and it has a long and interesting history.

Rum was first produced in the Caribbean in the 17th century, and it quickly became an important commodity in the region. Rum was traded for slaves, and it was also used as currency. Rum was so valued that it was even used to pay taxes in some island nations.

Over time, rum became associated with piracy and the infamous pirate flag, the Jolly Roger. This association likely began because pirates would often raid ships carrying rum, and because rum was often used to buy supplies and ammunition.

Today, rum is enjoyed all over the world, and it comes in many different styles. From light and refreshing rums to rich and flavourful aged rums, there is a rum for everyone. So next time you're looking for a delicious cocktail or just something to sip on neat, be sure to give rum a try.

There are many different types of rum, each with its own unique flavour and history. Here are just a few of the most popular varieties:

  • Jamaican Rum: This type of rum is known for its strong, full-bodied flavour. It is typically made from molasses, and the best Jamaican rums are aged in oak barrels for a minimum of three years.
  • Cuban Rum: Cuban rum is light and smooth, with a subtle sweetness. It is typically made from sugarcane juice, and the best Cuban rums are aged for at least two years in oak barrels.
  • Puerto Rican Rum: Puerto Rican rum is known for its unique blend of sweetness and spice. It is made from molasses, and the best Puerto Rican rums are aged in oak barrels for a minimum of three years.
  • Dominican Republic Rum: Dominican rum is similar to Puerto Rican rum in terms of its flavour profile. It is also made from molasses, and the best Dominican rums are aged in oak barrels for a minimum of three years.
  • Virgin Islands Rum: Virgin Islands rum is characterised by its smooth, mellow flavour.
