Rum

Rum is an alcoholic beverage obtained from the alcoholic fermentation of molasses and other derivatives of sugar production and subsequent distillation. Rum is a secular drink with refined characteristics and a mild aroma.
Made from crushed fresh canes or its molasses, the drink began to be appreciated in the seventeenth century, when it was released as a powerful medicine capable even of "exorcising the demons of the body." It is also said that its high alcohol content (from 35 to 55 degrees GL) made it famous among pirates from the seventeenth century, encouraging them before the fighting. It served as the bargaining chip to acquire African slaves.
Rum can be made in two different ways: agricultural and industrial. The first is obtained directly from fermented cane juice, and the second is obtained from molasses.
The distillation can be done in still or distillation column. In both, the result is a crystal drink. As for the golden color found in some types of the drink, it is due to aging in oak barrels or the addition of caramel colorings. The aged are much more expensive and, due to their peculiar and characteristic flavor, should be consumed pure or with ice. Rum can also be the mixture of two or more types of rum, such as the agricultural one with the industrial one, the still with the distillation column, the new one with the aged one, and different combinations between these types.
Rum is the main ingredient in many famous drinks, such as daiquiri, banana daiquiri, mojito and free vat. It is mainly produced in the Caribbean islands.
