PAGE 42 7 ALPHABETICAL INDEX OF DISTILLERIES ........................................................................................ PAGE 43-44 Rum 101 Rum is a distilled beverage made from sugar cane by-products – such as molasses and sugar cane juice – through a process of fermentation and distillation. The distillate, a clear liquid, is then usually aged in oak and other casks. While there are Rum producers in places such as Australia, India, Reunion Island, and elsewhere around the world, the majority of Rum production occurs in and around the Caribbean and along the Demerara River in South America. Rum is produced in a variety of styles. Light Rums are commonly used in mixed drinks, while golden and dark Rums are appropriate for use in cooking as well as more elaborate cocktails. Premium brands of Rum are also available that are meant to be consumed straight up or on the rocks. 8 Rum plays a part in the culture of most islands of the West Indies, and has famous associations with the British Royal Navy and piracy. Rum has also served as a popular medium of exchange throughout history, providing economic incentive for Australia’s Rum Rebellion and the American Revolution. The Origin of Rum Rum n. (ruhm) 1: an alcoholic beverage distilled from a fermented cane product (as molasses) 2: alcoholic liquor (“the demon Rum”) The word "Rum" had come into common use by May 1657 when the General Court of Massachusetts made illegal the sale of strong liquor, “whether knowne by the name of Rumme, strong water, wine, brandy, etc., etc.” In current usage, the word for Rum is often based on its place of origin. For Rums from Spanishspeaking locales, the word Ron is used. A Ron Añejo indicates that a Rum has been significantly aged. Rhum is the term used for Rums from French-speaking locales, while Rhum Vieux is an aged French Rum. Some of the many other names for Rum are Rumbullion, Rumbustion, Barbados Water, Rumscullion, Devil’s Death (or “Kill-Devil”), Nelson’s Blood, and Rumbo. A version of Rum from Newfoundland is referred to by the name Screech, while some low-grade West Indies Rums are called Tafia. Rum Categorization Dividing Rum into meaningful groupings is complicated by the fact that there is no single standard for what constitutes Rum. Instead, Rum is defined by the varying rules and laws of the nations that produce the spirit. The differences in definitions include issues such as spirit proof, minimum aging, and even naming standards. One such example is Colombia, where Rum is required to possess a minimum alcohol content of 50 ABV (alcohol by volume), while Chile and Venezuela require only a minimum of 40 ABV. Mexico requires Rum be aged a minimum of 8 months; the Dominican Republic requires one year; and Venezuela requires two years. Naming standards also vary, with Argentina defining Rums as White, Gold, Light, and Extra Light. Barbados uses the terms White, Overproof, and Matured, while the United States defines the variations as Rum, Rum Liqueur, and Flavored Rum. 9 Despite these differences in standards and nomenclature, the style of Rum production can generally be grouped according to the language that is traditionally spoken in the country of origin. Spanish-speaking islands traditionally produce light Rums with a fairly clean taste. Rums from Cuba and Puerto Rico are typical of this style. English-speaking islands are known for darker Rums with a fuller taste that retain a greater amount of the underlying molasses flavor. Rums from Jamaica and the Demerara region of South America are typical of this style. French-speaking islands are best known for their agricultural Rums (RhumAgricole). These Rums, being produced exclusively from sugar cane juice, retain a greater amount of the original flavor of the sugar cane. Rums from Martinique and Guadeloupe are typical of this style. Many countries produce spirits similar to Rum. Cachaça is a spirit similar to Rum that is produced in Brazil. The Indonesian spirit Batavia Arrack, or Arrak, is a spirit similar to Rum that includes rice in its production. A spirit known as Aguardiente, distilled from molasses infused with anise, with additional sugar cane juice added after distillation, is produced in Central America and northern South America. Rum Production Unlike some other spirits, such as Cognac and Scotch, Rum has no defined production methods. Instead, Rum production is based on traditional styles that vary between locations and distillers. Sugar Cane Rum distinguishes itself from other spirits by the plant from which it is made. Sugar cane, a member of the grass family, has its origins in Papua New Guinea; but this hearty plant is grown in tropical climates around the world. The sweet juice of the mature plant is extracted by pressing the hard stalk in mechanical mills. Some distilleries use this fresh juice while others use the by-product of the sugar refining process – known as molasses – as the raw material for the fermentation process. Fermentation The addition of yeast to the sugar cane juice or molasses converts the available sucrose to alcohol in a process called fermentation. Typically this takes about a day, but some distilleries use yeast that takes as much as ten days to ferment. Distillation To concentrate the alcohol in the sugar cane wine, the wine is boiled while the vapor is collected and condensed. While the earliest pot stills resembled a tea kettle with a long spout and were capable of distilling only a few liters of alcohol at a time, modern continuous stills are vertical columns about 10 meters high and are capable of distilling as much as 20,000 liters per day. 10 In the French islands, spirits made from sugar cane juice are typically distilled to a relatively low distillation purity, resulting in a heavier-tasting spirit. Since molasses contains higher amounts of sulphur than sugar cane juice does, spirits distilled from fermented molasses are generally distilled to a high distillation purity in order to reduce the congeners (impurities) that have been concentrated in the molasses. Aging Immediately after distillation the fresh or raw spirits contain small amounts of hydrogen sulfide gas, formed during fermentation, which gives the spirit a hot harsh taste. Although some connoisseurs prefer fresh Rum, most consumers prefer the more elegant taste of an aged spirit. Today, almost all Rum is aged in previously used oak barrels that once held whiskey or bourbon. Aging can last from one to thirty years or more, making Rum one of the most varied of the distilled spirits. During the aging process the Rum acquires a golden color that changes to a dark brown with time. Blending and Bottling Although some Rum is bottled directly from the still, most Rum is aged and then blended before it is bottled for consumption.

Brazil Oronoco $13 An extraordinarily smooth white Rum, very creamy, with a strong taste of vanilla, hints of cinnamon, and enjoyable woody finish. Leblon Cachaça $8 As the fastest growing spirit in the United States, more and more Americans are discovering Cachaça, the national spirit of Brazil. Cachaça consumption in the U.S. has grown over 50% since 2007, and shows no signs of slowing down. Unique to Brazil, Cachaça is pronounced ka-SHA-sa, with the emphasis on the `SHA.’ Like Hefeweizen, Fahrvegnugen, and Pinot Grigio, Cachaça is a foreign word easy to mispronounce-at least initially. As a newly adopted discovery, Cachaça is quickly becoming part of our `social currency’ lexicon. The same is happening for Cachaça’s cocktail sidekick, the Caipirinha, the national cocktail of Brazil, which has been popping up on cocktail menus across the country. (Caipirinha is pronounced kaipur-EEN-ya, with the emphasis on the third syllable.) Cachaça is a Brazilian spirit distilled from sugar cane juice. It is the third most consumed spirit in the world behind only Vodka and Soju/Shochu, the Asian distillate made predominantly from rice. Historians date the initial creation of Cachaça between 1532 and 1550 in Brazil, predating the date of creation of Rum (1651 in Barbados) by more than one hundred years. Unlike Rum, which is usually made from molasses, Cachaça can only be made from fresh cane juice, and can only be made in Brazil. 99% of Cachaça is consumed in Brazil--over 1.3 billion liters per year. Brazilian law requires that Cachaça be distilled no higher than 54% alcohol by volume, and bottled between 38% and 40% alcohol by volume. That being said, most exported 17 Cachaça has an alcohol content similar to Vodka, Tequila, Rum, or Gin--40% alcohol by volume (or 80 proof). Leblon is distilled at a state-of-the-art distillery, Maison Leblon, in the fertile Minas Gerais region. Leblon’s approach to Cachaça is unique: Gilles Merlet, the master distiller, approaches the fermentation, distillation, and finishing of Cachaça like a fine wine. Using techniques from his native France, Gilles manages every detail of the creation, from the hand-selection of the cane and his proprietary fermentation approach, to the Alambique batch-distillation and light-casking, triple-filtering, and master blending. Gilles rests the final distillate in XO Cognac casks from France, giving Leblon an extra special touch. As a result, Leblon Cachaça has a delicate, fruity nose, combined with an ultra smooth finish. So, now that you understand what Cachaça is, how to say it, and how to use it, we invite you to explore this wonderful new world. Is Cachaça the next Tequila? Is the Caipirinha the new Margarita? We have no idea, but we do know this: it’s a wonderful thing. Maison Leblon Reserva Especial $10 This dark, mellow Cachaça is aged for two years in Limousin French Oak Barrels, resulting in a very smooth sipping Cachaça with earthy tastes of honey and mellow caramel, and a lingering flavor of pine nuts on the finish. Ypioca Ouro $7 From the largest Cachaça producer in the world (pronounced “ee-pee-oka”) and aged for two years in Brazilian Freijo wood casks, this soft and gentle sipping Cachaça is pale gold in color, with a smoky feel and flavors of caramel and fruits and a hint of pepper. Colombia Medellin Gran Reserva 12 year $10 A blend of Colombian Rums naturally aged between 8 and 12 years, the Gran Reserva is well rounded and slightly spicy, and fantastic for sipping.

Centenario Fundacion 20 year $11 A special reserve aged for more than 20 years, this Rum is the product of a paused and conscientious aging process, which results in a Rum with a rich caramel aroma and a lovely blend of oak, vanilla, and cinnamon, and even a hint of cocoa, on the tongue.

Centenario Añejo Especial7 year $9 The finest Rums aged in oak barrels, conserved carefully to ensure an exceptional flavor and smell. Cuba It would be as impossible to ignore Cuba when talking about Rum as it would be when talking about cigars. Cuba, the “Isle of Rum,” possesses a legendary combination of world class sugar cane, Caribbean climate, fertile soil, and master Rum-Makers, or “Maestro Roneros.” Due to the U.S. trade embargo against Cuba, it is impossible (not to mention illegal!) for us to have or sell Cuban Rum, but many Rum companies and their Maestro Roneros fled Cuba after Fidel Castro’s revolution in 1959, and set up new distilleries in other countries. So while we can’t currently offer Cuban Rum, you can still get a taste of it made as it was made for generations in Cuba, from both Matusalem (page 19) and Vizcaya (page 20) in the Dominican Republic, and from Bacardi (pages 29-30) in Puerto Rico. Sample the products from these fine companies, and enjoy the “spirit of Cuba.” And join us in looking forward to the happy day when other fine Cuban Rums will once again be available to Americans. Dominican Republic Dominican Rum is ranked among the best in the world. The fertile topsoil is extraordinarily deep and is surrounded by a lush and wet landscape. Dominican Rum is produced through a more natural process of 19 distillation, while aging is often done in special American white oak kegs. This makes the Rum a little heartier and a little less sweet than other Rums made in places like Jamaica and Barbados. Atlantico Private Cask $11 This rich, luxurious Rum starts with the finest small batch aged Dominican Rums, which are blended and aged in bourbon casks for 15-25 years and hand-bottled.

Seven Tiki $7 Made with Polynesian sugar cane and pure Fijian water, Seven Tiki is full-bodied with a smooth taste, with a blend of tropical spices and flavors. Guatemala Guatemala is noteworthy in Central America where a variety of primarily medium-bodied Rums from column stills are produced that lend themselves well to aging. They have recently begun to gain international recognition. 22 Zacapa XO $25 Reminiscent of a fine Spanish brandy, XO is a blend of Rums distilled from the sweetest first-crush sugar cane. These Rums are then aged 6 to 25 years in bourbon, sherry, wine and cognac barrels. The result is a greatly refined and balanced sipping Rum, extraordinarily smooth, with subtle notes of oak, caramel, nuts, and fruit. Zacapa Centenario 23 year $11 The pride of Guatemala, this Rum is distinctive not just for its bottles (which are hand-wrapped in royal palm), but for its smoothness and complexity of flavor. Distilled from pure sugar cane honey, rather than molasses, it is aged for over 23 years in wooden casks high in the Guatemalan mountains with the same method used to create sherry. It has a surprisingly subtle nose and an amazingly smooth taste, with many flavors vying for attention, including molasses, cocoa, and honey.

Haiti (Due to damage done to the Barbancourt Distillery in the January 2010 earthquake in Haiti, the Rum Barrel may not have various Barbancourt Rhums in stock. However, we have kept this section intact for both your education and to honor the proud tradition of Barbancourt Rhum. Please ask your server which Barbancourt selections are available at this time.)

Jamaica Jamaican Rum is naturally fermented for about 3 weeks, meaning yeast from the air settles on the surface of the mash. The Rum is then distilled twice in pot stills and aged in oak casks for a minimum of five years. Though Jamaican Rum is dark, it gets most of its color from added molasses, not from the cask. Appleton Estate 21 year $23 A rare blend of some of the world’s finest Rums, this is a smooth sipping Rum, aged at least 21 years; it is delicate, complex, and aromatic.

Extraordinarily balanced, complex, and smooth, flavors of citrus, nuts, cloves, cinnamon, and tropical fruits, and a hint of vanilla all lead to a smooth, dry finish. A fantastic sipping rum. Mexico Rum surprisingly outsells tequila in Mexico and the country produces well over 10 million gallons a year. However, Mexican Rum is not as accessible in the U.S. due to a monopoly on the market from Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands in the form of duty free exports. Bacardi Añejo $7.50 Aged in oak barrels for 6 years, this is a perfect gold Rum for sipping. 27 D’Aristi Special Reserve $14 This Mexican Rum starts life as a Caribbean Rum, which is then shipped to the Yucatan and aged in American oak casks for 10 years.

Millonario $10 A complex and balanced Rum with a solid but gentle finish. Notes of fig, caramel, dried fruits, and custard. Puerto Rico Rum is the national drink, and you can buy it in almost any shade. Puerto Rico is the world’s leading Rum producer; 80% of the Rum consumed in the United States hails from the island. Puerto Rico is known primarily for light, very dry Rums from column stills. All white Puerto Rican Rums must, by law, be aged a minimum of one year while dark Rums must be aged three years. Bacardi Reserva Limitada $15 Bacardi’s vaunted “founder’s blend” is a rich and brilliantly balanced dark reddish-gold Rum comparable to cognac.
