Rum

I Like Wine’s rums reflect the rich history of the spirit, as most of our rum is distilled in the USA, Cuba, Jamaica, and the Virgin Islands. We also have products from Europe as well as Queensland’s very own Bundaberg rum.

Although first purposely cultivated in the West Indies, variations of rum have been found in India, Israel, and Malaysia for thousands of years due to the fermentation of sugar cane.

In the West Indies of central America, slaves discovered that the molasses from sugar cane could be fermented to make alcohol. Some experts believe that the heat and humidity of the Caribbean help the rum to age properly.

This process soon spread to other areas of America including Brazil and North America, which then spread globally. Despite this global trip, most rum found is distilled in the Caribbean and parts of North America.

Rum today is made from fermenting byproducts from sugar cane such as molasses and sugar cane juice and is then aged in oak barrels for various periods, resulting in a range of different aromas and flavours.
