What would Pirates google? Oh wait, that’s a different video… Today, we’ll tell you about the 5 most googled questions about Rum:
1. Where is Rum from?
Barbados has been mentioned as the birthplace of Rum, with Mount Gay Rum documenting those origins back to 1703.
But we know Rum was being made before then, as there’s a documented link to commercial distillation being carried out in Brazil, in 1536 by a Dutch businessman called Erasmus Schetz.
Looking further back, India had distillation technology, possibly even as far back as the 2nd century BC. They also had sugarcane, as that had already arrived in the country long before then. So it’s feasible that people in India were creating sugarcane distillates some thousand years or more before the Caribbean got a look in.
2. Is Rum gluten free?
Given that it can only be produced from fermenting sugarcane juice, a syrup made from the juice, from molasses or from sugar itself, then Rum must be gluten free as there is no grain involved.
We wanted to be sure, so we asked Richard Seale, a well-respected Rum producer in Barbados who incidentally studied chemistry at Imperial College. Guess what he said...
Rum is gluten free.
3. Why is Rum dark?
Rum picks up color from time spent in wooden barrels. There are a number of other factors at play, but mostly it’s due to the chemistry of the liquid interacting with the wood and the longer this interaction happens, the darker the color becomes.
In the case of ‘very’ dark Rums, such as Kraken, or ‘navy style’ Rums such as Skipper, it’s typically down to the use of spirit caramel to add color. Generally, these types of Rums are relatively young as well.
A truism is that color is no guarantee of age – don’t rely on color as being the guide. Only your palate will verify that for you.
4. Where is Rum made?
Anywhere where you can create a fermented wine from molasses or sugarcane juice, Rum can be distilled.
It’s most typically produced in the tropics, where sugarcane grows most readily. Rum is most commonly made from molasses, a bi-product of sugar production and the two generally go hand in hand.
5. Is Rum vegan?
Depends how strict you are on the ‘animal’ part of things.
Many millions of bacterial organisms collectively called ‘yeast’ died in order to create both alcoholic content and flavor to the ferment which was then distilled to produce your Rum.
Probably better to not start talking about yeast as being living beings with life goals, offspring or poor working conditions, right?
So, even if you’re vegan and allergic to gluten, you can pour yourself a glass of rum, sit in front of the computer and search for: What … would … Jack … Sparrow … drink …? |
