Ron (Rum)

Ron, also known as rum, is a distilled alcoholic beverage made from fermented sugarcane juice, molasses, or other sugar-based products. Originating from the Caribbean, it’s typically aged in wooden barrels, which influences its flavor and color. Rum varies in style from light and sweet to dark and complex, and it’s commonly enjoyed neat, mixed into cocktails, or used in cooking. Its flavors can include vanilla, caramel, spices, or fruity notes, depending on the production and aging process. As a spirit, rum is often associated with tropical regions and maritime cultures, serving both recreational and cultural purposes worldwide.
