Old Monk Supreme XXX Rum 42,8% Vol. 0,7l in Giftbox

Slightly sweet taste, strong with up to 96% alcohol content rum was originally a by-product of sugar production. Initially the sugar residues were used as animal feed or simply thrown away, but soon alcohol was produced from it. Today sugar cane is grown mainly in Asia and Central America. However, this perennial cultivated plant is of Asian origin. Evidence of crystallized sugar could be found in India already 5,000 years ago. Sugar cane cultivation spread further thanks to the Arabs to the Mediterranean countries – Egypt and North Africa. Columbus was the first to bring sugar cane to the Caribbean countries at the end of the 15th century and until today sugar cane is used for sugar as well as rum production.
