Alluring Caribbean Rums

Lean in close, for the Rum Triangle is a cautionary tale. Drawing in unsuspecting imbibers with an irresistible magnetism, the Rum Triangle makes the fabled Devil’s Triangle quake in its soggy-bottomed boots. For once a wandering soul finds itself in the Triangle’s clutches, it’s destined to a Rum-soaked existence from which it can never willingly escape.With the Dominican Republic due north, Barbados to the west, and Venezuela to the south, the fated coordinates of this Triangle produce some of the world’s most intoxicating Rums.Word to the wise, Mateys: Sip at ye own risk, as you may fall under the triangle’s boozy spell and never return. Arrrr! It’s no surprise that some of the world’s best Rums come from this Caribbean vortex of spiritual greatness.

After all, the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, and Barbados are sugar cane powerhouses, producing and exporting much of the world’s supply of this sweet, perennial grass. As you probably know, sugar cane is at the very heart of your favorite bottle of Rum. Sugar cane molasses or sugar cane juice is fermented, then distilled, before it makes its way into a barrel and then into your glass. It just so happens that this tall, reedy plant thrives off the bright sunny climes of the Caribbean, making it ground zero for producing… craft Beer (kidding, it’s Rum. Definitely Rum).And so it goes with this Tasting Box. Three irresistibly divine examples of the power emanating from the Rum Triangle, starting with Bacoo 12 Year Old Rum, a smooth drinking Rum made farm-to-bottle from the Dominican Republic; Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva, the most award-winning Rum from one of the most respected names in the Rum universe; and the Dominican Republic’s Brugal 1888 — just dry, bold, full-bodied greatness.Time to explore what the triangle has to offer. Drop your anchors and settle in for the Rumventure you’ve been waiting for — cheers!

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.
As well as making the globally popular Diplomático brand, the facility also makes Gin, Vodka, Whiskey, Brandy and various Liqueurs.
 
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.
