Rum has a rich and varied history that\u2019s tied to the history of various countries around the world. It\u2019s a spirit that\u2019s woven into the story of the colonisation of the Caribbean, for example. It is also inextricably linked with the navies of various nations. These events and institutions have had a direct impact on the flavor characteristics of rum made in these places.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

While the very first origins of rum are lost in time, some think a form of it was produced as early as the 7th century. The rum that we know today, however, has its origins in the Caribbean. <\/span><\/p>

It\u2019s thought that slaves working on plantations in the colonised islands of the Caribbean discovered that they could create a spirit from molasses, the by-product of sugar production. One island that lays claim to being the first producer of rum is Barbados, with distilleries whose history goes back to the start of the 18th century.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Crucially, the countries that occupied each island had an influence on the rum produced there. While these islands changed hands over the years, each has a dominant influence from one of just a handful of imperial powers \u2013 Spain, England and France. This is generally reflected in the language still spoken in these countries.<\/span><\/p>

It was the regions controlled by the English that first had real success with their rum production, and this early style is therefore the one associated with these countries, including Jamaica. This is characterised by fuller-bodied, pot-still rums.<\/span><\/p>

The Spanish, meanwhile, didn\u2019t allow its colonies to produce rum, as it competed with the country\u2019s own brandy production \u2013 something that England didn\u2019t have. When it did lift these restrictions, new trends and production techniques meant that the Spanish colonies made a lighter, softer style.<\/span><\/p>

France\u2019s colonies, such as Martinique, were producing rum throughout all of this time too, but in the early 1800s there was a move to reduce France\u2019s reliance on sugarcane. This resulted in a surplus of cane, which distillers began to use directly, rather than the by-product molasses. This style of sugarcane juice rum, or rhum agricole, remains the dominant style in France\u2019s former colonies.<\/span><\/p>

Rum is most often associated with the Caribbean and the Americas. The country that produces the most rum, or at least produces the world\u2019s biggest brand of rum, is a surprising one: the Philippines.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Lighter, more approachable Spanish style rums, that derive more of their flavor from barrel ageing than from distillation, are produced in former Spanish colonies such as:<\/span><\/p>
