From freshly squeezed sugarcane juice.

Based in the sunny Caribbean island of Guadeloupe, Damoiseau is situated in the best place to make some very fine Rhum Agricole. Rhum differs from Rum in that it is made from sugar cane juice rather than molasses. The tradition of making Rhum has been on the island for centuries and Damoiseau are the biggest producers found here. The Bellevue Distillery was bought by the Damiouseau family in 1942, and remains in the family to this day.
 
Damoiseau’s VSOP Rhum is distilled from the finest sugar cane Guadeloupe has to offer. It is then matured in charred ex-Bourbon casks for a minimum of four years. This Rhum has a sweet and complex flavour profile, with a great spiciness and gentle bitter coffee taste that really emphasises the saccharine over tones.

If the center of our galaxy had a signature scent, it would be Rum. Yup, astronomers studying a giant cloud in the Milky Way found a substance called ethyl formate, a chemical that smells suspiciously like Rum.
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.
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.’
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.
Rum used to be accepted as a form of currency in Europe and Australia, a practice we should probably bring back into fashion.
