Rums
Rum is a liquor made by fermenting and then distilling sugarcane molasses or sugarcane juice. The distillate, a clear liquid, is often aged in barrels of oak. Rum originated in the Caribbean in the 17th century, but today it is produced in nearly every major sugar-producing region of the world. Rums are produced in various grades. Light rums are commonly used in cocktails, grog or toddy whereas "golden" and "dark" rums were typically consumed straight or neat, iced (" on the rocks"), or used for cooking, but are now commonly consumed with mixers. Premium rums are made to be consumed either straight or iced. Rum plays a part in the culture of most islands of the West Indies as well as the Maritime provinces and Newfoundland, in Canada. It has associations with the Royal Navy (where it was mixed with water or beer to make grog) and piracy (where it was consumed as bumbo). Rum has served as a medium of economic exchange, used to help fund enterprises such as slavery via tr ...

The prior ration of eight pints of beer was replaced with a ration of one half-pint of spirits. In 1740, to minimise the subsequent illness, drunkenness, and disciplinary problems, Vice-admiral (Royal Navy), British Vice-Admiral Edward Vernon ordered that the daily rum issue of of rum be mixed with of water, a water-to-rum ratio of 4:1, with half issued before noon and the remainder after the end of the working day.

Rhum Agricole
Rhum agricole () is the French term for ''sugarcane juice rum'', a style of rum originally distilled in the French Caribbean islands from freshly squeezed sugarcane juice rather than molasses. ''Rhum'' is a term which typically distinguishes it in French-speaking locales from rum made with molasses in other parts of the West Indies (rum, ron). Overview Cane juice rum mostly comes from Haiti, Martinique, and the Guadeloupe islands of Marie-Galante, Grande-Terre, and Basse-Terre, but is made throughout the Caribbean including in Trinidad, Panama, the Dominican Republic and Grenada; in the Indian Ocean on Mauritius and Réunion Island; and in the Pacific Ocean on the islands of Hawaii and French Polynesia, and in Vanuatu. Most rum is made from molasses, a byproduct of sugar refining. When France began to make sugar from sugar beets around 1811, sugar prices dropped and the debt-ridden sugar factories in the French Caribbean could not survive solely on sugar production. Fresh cane ...
