Rum, the spice of life
Is there any drink more associated with happiness and enjoyment than rum? Probably not, and it is no coincidence that its popularity began in the Caribbean, those paradisiacal islands where the crystal-clear sandy beaches, the radiant sun and the tranquillity of the ocean encourage you to let yourself go and just enjoy, with a glass of rum on the rocks or mixed in your favourite cocktail.
It is no less true that "rum-cola" or "cubalibres" are also closely linked to the world of partying and nightlife, music and dancing, the exaltation of the senses and friendship. Rum is all this, a chalice of happiness.
Its name, "rum", first appeared in a Jamaican government document in 1661, although it had previously had different names, such as "kill-devil", "rumbullion", "guildive" or "tafia".
It is believed that sugar cane was fermented in ancient Greece to make drinks, which is a clear precursor of rum. Also, Marco Polo, on one of his many voyages, described a Persian drink as a "very good sugar wine", another clear predecessor of rum. It was finally in the 17th century when its production became popular in the Caribbean, first in a traditional way by the slaves on the plantations, and then it began to be refined with sugar and industrialised by its owners.
Composition of Rum
Rum is a drink with an alcoholic content of between 35 and 40 degrees, made by fermenting sugar cane or molasses and then distilled to obtain ethanol. It is then diluted with water until it reaches 35-40 proof alcohol, which is then aged (or not) in casks, usually oak casks. As in the case of whisky, the longer the ageing process, the higher the quality of the rum.
Depending on its typology, the composition may vary:
Hispanic rums
Made from sugar cane molasses, aged in criaderas and soleras and with a dry to sweetish taste, achieved by the addition of caramel and sugar. The number of years on the bottle usually, but not always, indicates the oldest drop of rum in the bottle. These are rums produced in Central America and Peru, or in Spain, especially in the Canary Islands.
British rums
Also produced from sugar cane molasses, aged in soleras and criaderas, these are darker, spicier and sweeter rums, the flavour enhanced by the addition of caramel, sugar and spices. They are made in Barbados, Bemuda, Belize or Guyana.
French agricultural rums
Their raw material is sugar cane juice, barrel-aged and with a dry taste and a lot of aroma. Each appellation of origin regulates and restricts their production, so that they can maintain a similar high quality. Unlike Hispanic rums, the number on the bottle marks the minimum age of the youngest drop of rum in the bottle, which is why it is usually no older than 10 years. The countries that produce this type of rum are Guadeloupe, Haiti, and Martinique. They tend to be more expensive than their British and Hispanic cousins, mainly due to their more expensive production and ageing process.
Finally, it should be noted that there are different types of rum beyond their origin, with white rums, golden rums, aged rums, reserve rums, exclusive reserve rums, sweet rums, agricultural rums, frosted rums, light rums... As you can see, there is a very wide variety and ways of classifying a drink as full of nuances as rum.
Flavour of Rum
Sweet is the word that best describes the taste of rum, although there are drier or stronger, more or less spicy, aged, unaged or very aged. This all depends on the country of origin, the caramel mixture used in its production and its ageing.
These flavours, or rather, nuances and aromas, mean that some rums are more oriented to be consumed neat or on the rocks, while others are perfect for combining or in cocktails. The wide range of existing rums allows for different uses.
Rum cocktails and mixed drinks
Within the wide range of rum cocktails, we are going to point out the most outstanding ones, which are very well known due to their multiple appearances in series and films:
- Mojito: white rum (a dark rum could also be used if white is not available), lime juice, mint, sugar, soda and ice.
- Piña colada: white rum, pineapple juice, coconut milk, and ice.
- Mai Tai: white rum, dark rum, orange curaçao or triple dry, almond syrup, lime juice and grenadine juice, ice
- Daiquiri: white rum, lime juice, fruit syrup (strawberry, banana, pineapple...), ice.
Brands of Rum
These are the best rum brands, the most awarded and the most famous. And they are with good reason, as you won't go wrong choosing any of them:
Curiosities about Rum
- Do you know how John Fitzgerald Kennedy celebrated his ascension to the White House? Well, with a Daiquiri in his hand.
- The second thing you might not have known is that, at the end of World War II, French doctors prescribed rum to cure the Spanish Flu (what a bad treatment, right?).
- A shot of rum contains 70 calories and no more. You know what you need to do for the summer.
- Commander Nelson, who died at Trafalgar, requested that his body be preserved in a cask of rum prior to burial. What amounts to a sweet death.
- Finally, a question: which country in the world produces the most rum? Come on, name one... It's Puerto Rico, the production base of the Bacardi brand.
