In 1783, James Man got really lucky and scored a sweet government contract of providing Rum to the Royal Navy. It would come in 4,54 liter stone flagon with every sailor receiving 71 milliliters each day.
 
After 187 years, the Navy stopped the Rum rations on the day known as the Black Tot Day. A decade later, Mark Andrews from Texas bought 650 demijohns and aged the Rum in American oak casks.
 
Today, we can taste the history of Rum, the Royal Navy and Great Britain. Experience the same flavor the British sailors did on that fateful day.

Rum is a sugar cane based spirit, primarily made in the Caribbean and Latin America, but you can really find Rum in many corners of the world.
Next time you have a tipple of Rum you can say that you're tapping the Admiral. This intriguing phrase comes from the great Admiral Nelson who was killed in the battle of Trafalgar off of Spain. The story is that his body was preserved in Rum to be shipped back to England but, when the barrel arrived, some of the Rum was missing and said to have been siphoned off by some desperate or unknowing sailors. It's a great story but most likely false.
Rum (usually) comes from molasses, the sweet and syrupy residue of refining sugarcane into sugar. Molasses is over 50% sugar, but it also contains significant amounts of minerals and other trace elements, contributing to the final flavor.
You might find Rum masquerading itself under other nom de plumes, like Ron, Rom and Rhum.
Common Rum classifications: White, Golden or Amber, Dark, Spiced, Añejo and Age-Dated Rums.
Rum used to be accepted as a form of currency in Europe and Australia, a practice we should probably bring back into fashion.
