Bruno Mars releases a special owner's reserve Rum that is truly a masterclass in Rum aging and blending.

SelvaRey means “Jungle King” in Spanish. Their website lists the founders as “three brothers and Bruno Mars.” OK… you probably know who Bruno Mars is. The “three brothers” cryptically referenced are Seth and Marc Gold and their brother-in-law Robert Herzig. Seth had some success as a song writer—where he came to know Bruno Mars. Anyway… they all like Rum and decided to joint venture. Next thing you know — in the words of Bruno Mars — “Bang Bang Gorilla” a new Rum is born. But SelvaRey Rums ain’t just celebrity-endorsed marketing hype. They are premium Rums from the jungles of central Panama crafted by legendary Master Blender Francisco “Don Pancho” Fernandez.

Don “Pancho” Francisco Fernandez is more than a legend in the world of Rum. he has spent his entire life in the Rum busienss and is currently a master ronero at the Las Cabras Distillery in Panama. It seems that Bruno Mars wanted to make a statement, so he asked Don Pancho to blend the finest and oldest Rums in his warehouses to create and new standard for quality. When he was done, the final blend include a wide range of Rums — some aged fifteen and twenty-five years. And this new top-of-the-line SelvaRey Owner’s Reserve Rum arrives in a beautiful tapered decanter and gift-able box.

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