The creation of aged rum begins with the fermentation of sugarcane juice or molasses. This sweet base is allowed to ferment, with yeast converting the sugars into alcohol. The next phase is distillation, which concentrates the alcohol and refines the flavors. The distilled rum is then aged in oak barrels, where it acquires a golden hue and complex flavors ranging from vanilla to spice. Each barrel imparts its unique character, making aged rum a rich, nuanced spirit. This process reflects centuries of refinement, ideal for enthusiasts who appreciate layered, historical liquors.
