A Gold Medal winning Rum from Okinawa made in a copper-pot still so it retains a memory of where it came from.

BBC Wine and Spirits was founded in 2010 by Bogdan Tonasiou and Bertrand Fradin as a Wine exporter. But the company soon blossomed into the distribution of a wide range of Spirits covering virtually every category and ultimately in creating their own brands as well. Located in Bordeaux, France, they now sell into more than thirty countries with an emphasis on North America and Europe.

The Tokyo Nights brand was launched by BBC in 2020. Tokyo Nights Rum is and un-aged Spirit that forms the core of the three product lineup — all of which are created on the island of Okinawa. It’s made from 100% locally grown sugarcane molasses and distilled in a copper-pot still — a far cry from the massive steel monstrosities used by the industrial-scale producers. And that means that a lot of the natural grassiness and exotic fruit notes remain behind to make your taste buds happy.

A little bit of etymology; nobody really knows where the word Rum comes from. The most popular suggestions are Rum (the Romani word for 'potent'), Rumbullion (an uproar), Saccharum (sugar in Latin), and Rummer (a Dutch drinking glass).
Rum used to be accepted as a form of currency in Europe and Australia, a practice we should probably bring back into fashion.
Common Rum classifications: White, Golden or Amber, Dark, Spiced, Añejo and Age-Dated Rums.

Mount Gay Rum is the oldest existing Rum company in the World dating back to 1705. This is also the year Guy Fawkes tried to blow up Britain’s Parliament.
Rum is why we measure alcohol proof. To make sure Rum wasn’t watered down, it had to be ‘proven’ by soaking gunpowder with it. If it was ‘overproof’ (higher than 57.15 % vol.), then the gunpowder would ignite, but if it wouldn’t, it was ‘underproof.’
