RUM

The story of Rum is a very old one; it‘s composed of
influences from around the world and across cultures,
oceans and millennia. In each iteration of a populace
who favors it, it has been morphed, enhanced,
experimented with and made singular in some form
or another. True, there is a unifying feature of the
spirit that allows it to retain its unique character but,
beyond the the necessity of distilled sugarcane, Rum
affords its crafters a blank slate with which to make
it their own. By infusing a local spice, fruit or other
experiential enhancement, from hints of nutmeg
and clove in Rums of Western Europe, caRdamom and
ginger in Rums of India, even to beets and allspice in
traditional Rum concoctions of Eastern Europe, it‘s
inarguable the Rum is truly the melting pot spirit.
It‘s through this uniquely adaptable crafting style
and worldwide contributions that Rum has come to
be and, as such, embodies qualities and principles
representative of the very philosophy of America itself.
