A tavern immersed in darkness… A man with a wooden leg and only one eye remaining… And on the back of this dark stranger, a symbol that makes women and children tremble: the Jolly Roger.<\/p>\n

Four hundred years ago, when maritime trade was at its height, the pirate became a popular figure. Flying the flag for a kingdom or for a scoundrel, he helped to spread the word about a spirit that is now highly prized: rum.<\/p>\n

Blood, tears and a few missing teeth<\/h2>\n

Did you ever wonder where rum comes from? Although there is some doubt, it would seem that etymologically this word derives from the word ‘Rumbullion’, which would mean ‘fight’. And sure… It is not by chance that this spirit has long been associated with pirates and their fiery temperament.<\/p>\n

Four centuries ago, rum was far from being the premium spirit it is today. Saturated with impurities, made from agricultural waste, it was an alcoholic beverage reputed to arouse the baser instincts of man. In this sense, the rum of yesteryear was a reflection of the people who enjoyed it.<\/p>\n

In the late 1600s, the world was a completely different place. On the sugar plantations of the West Indies, slaves worked tirelessly to produce and harvest sugar cane. In addition, they were responsible for giving a second life to a waste product from the sugar refining process: molasses.<\/p>\n

Because of its high sugar content and strong taste, molasses was soon used to brew a cheap liquor. Surprisingly, in 1600, rum was considered the ‘poor man’s nectar’.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, things have changed. Today, the rums produced are not only of high quality, but also display different profiles.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Rums that enhance your cocktails<\/h2>\n

It is largely because of the differences between white, amber and dark rum<\/strong> that these spirits cannot be used in the same cocktails. Far from the crude molasses-based production of yesteryear, contemporary distillers have learned to tame the scent of sugar cane. White rum, amber rum, dark rum<\/strong>… Discover the wonders you can make with them.<\/p>\n

White rum<\/h2>\n

Evoking tropical islands, white rum<\/strong> transports you to the white sandy beaches of the Caribbean. Bananas, honey, exotic fruits and tea are some of the aromas that give it so much charm. In principle, white rum<\/strong> does not undergo any ageing but only a rest of a few months or years in stainless steel tanks. It seduces with its freshness and lightness.<\/p>\n
