Rum is a distilled spirit made from sugarcane by-products, such as molasses, or directly from sugarcane juice, by a process of fermentation and distillation. The distillate, a clear liquid, is then usually aged in oak barrels. Rum is referred to in Spanish by descriptors such as Ron Viejo (“old rum”) and Ron Añejo (“aged rum”). Once produced, Rums are graded – light rums are most often used in cocktails, whereas “golden” and “dark” rums are often consumed neat or with ice. Rum is often flavoured with fruits and spices, some of the most common types being spiced rum, honey Rum, coconut or pineapple Rum such as the Malibu brand and even Mango Rum. Wray and Nephew is the most famous brand of overproof (rum with an alcohol percentage higher than the standard 40%) white rum, which is often used in the cocktail named The Zombie owing to its inebriating effect on those who drink them. Rum brands like Bacardi have been enjoyed all over the world for hundreds of years straight or as the base for most cocktails.
