Rum is an alcoholic beverage made from sugar cane or its derivatives, such as molasses, known for its warm and diverse flavor. Its origins are strong in the Caribbean, but today rum is produced in many countries with distinct styles and flavor profiles.
Rum's flavor profile can range from light and sweet to rich, complex, and spicy or woody, depending on its fermentation and maturation process. Rum can be enjoyed straight, over ice, or as a base for a variety of classic cocktails.
