Rum

The first distillation of rum in the Caribbean took place on the sugarcane plantations there
in the 17th century. Plantation slaves discovered that molasses, a byproduct of the sugar refining
process, could be fermented into alcohol.[14] Later, distillation of these alcoholic byproducts
concentrated the alcohol and removed impurities, producing the first modern rums. Tradition
suggests this type of rum first originated on the island of Nevis. However, in the decade of the
1620s, rum production was also recorded in Brazil.[15] A liquid identified as rum has been
found in a tin bottle found on the Swedish warship Vasa, which sank in 1628.[16]
Here are the different types of rum:

1. Light Rum
Silver or white are other synonyms for light rum. These names are associated with this type
of rum, due to its clear non-color; liquid looks like water. This rum is purified through charcoal,
prior to being placed in a standard oak or stainless steel barrel. After the rum has matured, it is
removed and refined again by charcoal; light rum has the briefest aging process. This is the
contributing factor for light rum’s clear appearance. The nature of the rum’s light texture and
taste, makes it fitting for cocktails and other mixed beverages.

2. Dark Rum
Black rum is another term associated with this category; difficult to locate the bottom of a
shot glass when filled. The basis for dark rum’s black texture, is that it is scorched in oak barrels
for an extended period of time; lengthier than light rum. This process enhances the rum’s taste
and aroma; dominating other variant rum styles. Caramel, vanilla, molasses, and spices are
common ingredients discovered in dark rum. However, several dark rums differentiate in taste,
from its flavoring.

3. Amber Rum
Desire a rum that meets somewhere in the middle; richer than light but not as robust as the
dark rum. Strictly frothed in oak barrels, to bring out colors ranging from light gold to a medium
amber. This is why the names amber and gold rum are intermingled with each other. Mellow and
outdoorsy are typical comments that consumers say when describing the rum’s flavor. Amber
rum will elevate experiences in picnics, nature walks, camping trips, or an island vacation.

4. Spiced Rum
Pirates of the Caribbean’s Captain Jack Sparrow may spring to mind when thinking of this
rum. Spiced rum has numerous success in marketing this specific rum as tropical or adventurous.
Most of these beverages originate from amber rum. The main distinctions between the two, is
spice rum is darker, due to the caramel and additional spices that are added: pepper, rosemary,
and cinnamon. Low-priced spice rum labels are a mixture of light rum and caramel coloring, in
order to resemble a genuine dark appearance.

5. Flavored Rum
Craving a tropical burst of flavors to stimulate your taste buds? Flavored rum is well-known
for consumers that enjoy an assorted array of fruity flavors. This type of rum draws its taste from
a mixture of fruits, such as: oranges, bananas, coconuts, limes, citrus, mangos, and apples. It is
important to note, that this class of rum has the lowest alcohol volume content; majority of labels
contain around 35 percent. This beverage contributes in excellent tropical cocktails, consumers
can choose to have their drink with or without ice; weather and atmosphere usually play a role in
decision-making.

6.Overproof Rum
Overproof rum answers the prayers for individuals demanding a truly strong liquor. This
rum variant does not exaggerate its name, with bottles ranging from 60 – 84.5 percent of alcohol
volume content (120 – 169 proof). Its instant throat burning and mental effects are enough to put
almost anyone on their rear after a few shots. This rum is only recommended for experienced
liquor or rum enthusiasts. Additionally, this rum has proven to be beneficial for brewing cooking
recipes; island natives from the Caribbean typically use overproof as one of their key ingredients.

7. Premium Rum
An upscale variant that takes pride in the attention to detail they give during the fermentation
and aging process. It is customary for process premium rum, to take a minimum time slot of 5
years. If one has an unlimited bank account or wants to show off to their friends, this is not a bad
choice to consider for special occasions.

Brandy
The name comes from the Dutch brandewijn (“burnt wine”), referring to the application of
heat in distillation. Commercial distillation of brandy from wine originated in the 16th century.
According to one story, a Dutch shipmaster began the practice by concentrating wine for
shipment, intending to add water upon reaching home port, but the concentrated beverage
immediately found acceptance
Here are the different types of brandy:

French Brandy
France is a big country. OK, maybe not when compared to the US, Canada, or Russia. But
by European standards, there’s a lot of land mass. The French people are staunchly proud, not
only of their country, but also of their particular regions. Each area of France has its own micro-
climate, and individual nuances in the content of the soil. Over the centuries this has led to some
distinctly different types of brandy being produced.

1. Cognac Brandy
The stand out most famous brandy in the world, Cognac can only be created from grapes
grown in the 79,000 hectare AOC region of South West France. But it’s not only that, as to
legally carry the name of Cognac the brandy must have been distilled twice in copper pot stills,
and have undergone a production process that adheres to strict rules.

2. Armagnac Brandy
Armagnac is also a grape brandy from South West France, but a little further South,
extending into the foothills of the Pyrenees Mountains. Armagnac is also a grape brandy and has
AOC status, much the same as Cognac. This brandy also uses the same age statements as
Cognac, VS, VSOP, XO, and Hors d’Age. One big difference between Armagnac and Cognac is
that Armagnac only undergoes a single distillation process.
3. Calvados
Heading further north, to the region of Normandy, one can find an apple spirit called
Calvados. This is a relatively damp region of the world, and this provides the perfect location to
grow small, intensely flavored apples. And it’s these that are used to create the liquor. Calvados
can be either double or single distilled and is aged in oak barrels. It’s perhaps not surprising if
you’ve never heard of this, as it has a much smaller reach than that of Cognac or even Armagnac.
For example, only around 200,000 bottles are sold each year in the US, as opposed to well over
40 million bottles of Cognac.

Spanish Brandy
Spain has a long, long history of distilling brandy, one that was introduced to the area by the
Moors in the 8thcentury. Today the country produces around 80 million bottles per annum, of
which about 75% is consumed within the country. This is totally different to Cognac, where most
of what’s produced is exported on a global scale. Of the 25% of Spanish Brandy that is exported,
the majority goes to Mexico and the Philippines.

Spanish Brandy is made from grapes, and 95% of production takes place in the region of Jerez,
in Andalucía. The rest is produced in the region of Catalonia, in Penedes.

1.Brandy de Jerez
To qualify as a Brandy de Jerez the brandy must be aged in casks that have held sherry in the
past, and that use a solera system for aging. They also need to be matured within a ‘sherry
triangle’ that’s bordered by the towns, Sanlucar de Barramed, El Puerto de Santa Maria, and
Jerez de la Frontera. There are three categories of Brandy de Jerez: Solera, Solera Reserva, and
Solera Gran Reserva.

Others

1. Obstler Brandy
Obstler is a fruit brandy produced in the Alpine regions of Austria, Switzerland, and
Southern Germany. It’s made from fruits such as apricots, plums, cherries, apples, pears, or wild
berries. In general it’s a clear liquid, and locals will refer to it as Schnaps. Obstler is usually
double distilled, and has a lot in common with eau-de-vie, the base produce of Cognac before it
starts the aging process in oak barrels.

2. Pisco Brandy
A brandy from Peru and Chile, Pisco is rapidly increasing in popularity. This is especially
true in the US, who is the second largest importer of the spirit behind Chile. Whilst Pisco is,
indeed, a brandy, and one made from grape wine, it’s very different from Cognac and Armagnac.
The cocktail, Pisco Sour, is growing in popularity around the world, and can now be found on
the menus in many a trendy wine and cocktail bar. One of the fun facts about Pisco is that it
cannot be aged in wood at all. Instead this spirit is distilled from an extremely sweet grape with a
really high sugar content, and then rests for a minimum of three months in a container such as
glass, stainless steel, or traditional clay pitchers that are called botijas.

3.Armenian Brandy
The small country of Armenia is the birthplace of some rather good brandies. Local legend
says that farmers in the country have been distilling brandy since the 12thcentury. This brandy is
made from grapes, and production numbers around 20 million liters per annum. Around 90
percent of this is exported. Only grapes that are indigenous to the country are legally allowed to
be used to create Armenian Brandy. It has some similarities to Cognac, including using the same
double distillation process and Charentais pot stills.

4. South African Brandy

Another grape brandy, the spirit produced in South Africa can be both pot still distilled and
column still distilled. However, the end product must contain at least 30% of pot still distilled
brandy. Once again, South African Brandy is aged in French oak barrels. South African Brandy
is now a big deal, with some excellent ones on offer and are winning awards at many of the
leading spirit competitions.
5. Cypriot Brandy
Produced on the island of Cyprus, in the Mediterranean, this is another brandy made from
grapes. The best known is that made by the producer, Keo, and is double distilled in copper pot
stills and aged in Limousin oak barrels.

6. Pomace Brandy
Pomace Brandy is a liquor that’s created from the solid remains of grapes or fruit after it’s
been pressed. In other words, the skins, pulp, seeds, and stems of the fruit. You might be familiar
with the Italian name of Grappa, but there’s also similar such pomace brandies produced in
Spain, called Orujo, Greece, called Zivania, and Hungary, known as Torkolypalinka.
