rum production
Making cane spirits
Rum production is the process of making rum, a spirit distilled from sugarcane byproducts—typically molasses or fresh cane juice.
The process involves fermentation, distillation, and often aging in oak barrels.
Caribbean islands and Latin American countries dominate rum production, with regional styles varying from light Cuban-style rums to dark, molasses-heavy varieties: Jamaica has a long history of rum production.
