 AGRICULTURAL RUM
How to make agricultural rum ?
1. Manual harvesting of sugar cane
2. Crushing of sugar cane
3. Fermentation of the fresh cane juice with wild
yeast ( 2- 3 days )
Fresh cane juice = VESOU
Sugar cane wine will have to be distilled to
become an agricultural rum
Period of ageing of the rum :
12 months - white rum / straw
18 to 24 months - amber rum
at least 3 years - aged rum
AOC MARTINIQUE
IGP : Guadeloupe, Reunion, Guyana.
INDUSTRIAL RUM
How to make industrial rum ?
1. Manual harvesting of sugar cane
2. Cane juice must be heated --> until sugar crystals
are obtained ( = cane fiber = bagasse )
3. The water in the cane juice will evaporate but the
solid residue will remain = Molasses.
Molasses = the residue of the crystallization
and refining of the cane sugar.
4. Transport of the molasses in distillery
5. Dilution of molasses with water
6. Fermentation (from 24 hours to 12 days)
The fermented liquid ( = sugar canne wine ) must
be distilled to become an industrial rum.
The coloring of the industrial rum can be obtained
thanks to the addition of caramel (contrary to the
agricultural rum)
90% OF THE WORLD'S RUM PRODUCTION.
(MOLASSES CAN BE STORED BETTER)
