Rum

If you are looking for top shelf rum, visiting a rum store in Brookline is a good idea. Made from fermenting and distilling sugarcane juice or molasses, the distillate is aged in oak barrels. The main production of the world’s rum is done in the Caribbean and Latin America. The various grades of rum are categorized by light rums and spiced rums. Light rums are more common in cocktails opposed to spiced rums which were traditionally served straight. Nowadays, it is common to add mixers when drinking either/or.

White rums are mostly light-bodied, except for a few heavy-bodied white rums from French islands. Usually clear with a subtle flavor, white rums aged in oak casks are filtered to remove color. Golden rums or amber rums are medium-bodied, spending years aging in oak casks. This process gives golden rum a smooth and mellow taste. In contrast dark rums are traditional and full-bodied. They develop a rich caramel-dominated flavor from aging several years in oak casks.

There is an extremely potent version of rum originating in Jamaica called rude rum. If you add water to rude rum as a chaser or a mix, the brew is so concentrated that smoke will emit from the glass. Rude rum is particularly rare and found more easily in Jamaica than in the United States. The history of rum and sugar are one in the same, as they both originate from the sugar cane plant. The sugar cane was spread from present-day Indonesia by Chinese traders and finally noticed in Europe during the 11th century Crusades. Spanish and Portuguese explorers then began to plant them in colonial territories such as Hispaniola (the Dominican Republic and Haiti) and Brazil.

By the 1650s, it was discovered that if sugar cane is mixed with water and left to dry it will ferment. In English colonies rum was called kill devil, either because of its tendency to cause massive hangovers or its perception as a medicinal power.
