The history of rum is, above all, a history of journeys, conquests, and discoveries. It is the history of a spirit that accompanies men in their desires of the outer reaches, over unknown lands and skies. A history at times sweet, like the climate and the idyllic vegetation of the islands of the New World, but also bitter, cruel, comprised of abuses of power and conflicts. A history full of contradictions, which come together in the ancient and unconventional flavour of a spirit born from an adventure, made noble over time and become legendary.
