Today’s video covers rum for everyone! I’ve been looking forward to this for a while (I bought a sign for the occasion), but struggled to condense it into one video. This category’s massive with an extensive history – there’s simply too much to cover in one go! Rum’s been produced around the world for centuries, and the genre has very little rules. Essentially, any spirit distilled from sugarcane juice or its byproducts (molasses, evaporated cane syrup, etc.) can be labeled as Rum. It’s left to the individual regions to impart their own regulations (or lack there of) to the production of the spirit. Because of this there are countless expressions, and though exploring them all is exciting, navigating the nuances can be intimidating. I’m going to to help break this down. We’ll discuss a few common methods to categorize rum, why they work and why they don’t, and I’ll offer some of my bottle recommendations for those just getting started. Hopefully this helps you understand the mysterious world of rum so you’ll be able to better predict what’s in the bottle – and ultimately be encouraged to try something new! Cheers!
