A preciously light and buttery Guatemalan Rum.

Malteco Rum is produced by a Guatemalan distillery that’s a relatively new player in the Rum World, yet, a viable substitute to the likes of other more prominent Rums from Guatemala with a much longer history and tradition. Not a lot more is know about this brand, which is kind of exciting, a new field to explore, a new Rum to enjoy. In a really short time, it got praises and following from connoisseurs and hardcore enthusiasts from around the world.

Ron Malteco 10 Year Old Rum is said to be made Solera style from virgin sugar cane honey. This means older Rums mingle with younger ones and they influence each other; the younger ones become more mature and the older ones fresher. It’s a win-win situation. Expect this precious Guatemalan Rum to be light and buttery with lots of toffee, almonds, vanilla custard, sweet juicy cane, citrus, and some brown sugar. Feel free to sip it neat or save it for cocktail hour.

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.
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.
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 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.’
You might find Rum masquerading itself under other nom de plumes, like Ron, Rom and Rhum.
Rum used to be accepted as a form of currency in Europe and Australia, a practice we should probably bring back into fashion.
