A premium blend of tropical Rums with way less sugar.

This is a classic tale of three friends who come upon a beautiful Italian vineyard and opened up a Rum distillery. Okay, maybe it’s not that classic. When seeing the Giuseppe Brancatelli vineyard in Riotorto, Italy, the three Dutch amigos thought they should be distilling their own Rum. They went back home and bought a still. Using contemporary distilling techniques and adding traditional Dutch ingredients to the traditionally South American drink, the result was a distinct Rum with way less sugar than in other premium Rums.

Dutch Head The Bastard Edition blends together 5YO Dominican Rum, 3YO Guatemalan Rum, 2-3YO Panamian Rum, and 8YO Venezuelan Rum. Partnering with renowned sugar specialist Royal Cosun, this smooth and creamy Rum has only 9.4 grams of sugar per bottle. The typical Dutch ingredient in this one? Licorice a.k.a. “brown sugar”. This beautiful concoction already won two stars at the Superior Taste Award 2021 of the International Taste Institute Brussels and Silver at the International Wine & Spirit Competition 2021 with 92 points.

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.
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.
You might find Rum masquerading itself under other nom de plumes, like Ron, Rom and Rhum.
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.
