Rum

Traditionally linked to the Caribbean, rum has a complicated and slightly disturbing history. It was part of the original triangle of the slave trade economy and later became associated with piracy and even organised crime during prohibition. It seems wherever there is rum, there is rumbullion. Well, maybe not today. Rum can be made from sugar cane juice, cane syrup or molasses. There is no set method of manufacturing and there are many regional variations. Some distillers use pot stills, some column stills, others a variation of the two. Today, rum is produced all over the world, from Australia to Ireland and all points in between! Here at WineOnline.ie we pride ourselves in stocking the best rum's available in the country today.
