Brief History of Rum

Rum's history is complex and tumultuous, with scholars and enthusiasts debating its origins. The first recorded rum originated in the West Indies and first mentioned in records from Barbados in about 1650 by enslaved people who fermented molasses into alcohol. The first rum distillery in the colonies was established in 1664 on Staten Island.

Have fun exploring history starting on the Wikipedia Page.

Cheers!
