Rum Barbados Remember Moon Import by Pepi Mongiardino Vol.45% Cl.70

Rum (in French rhum, in English rum, in Spanish ron) is produced by distilling an infusion of fermented sugar, coming from sugar cane, and water.

If pure cane juice is used as sugar, an agricultural rum is obtained, of decidedly superior quality, normally distilled with a discontinuous still, as for the best cognacs and scotch whiskies.

If, however, molasses is used for the infusion, which is the residue of the extraction of sugar from cane juice, an industrial rum is obtained, for which a column distiller is normally used.

Pepi Mongiardino travels the world, visits the best distilleries and selects the best rums produced.

Pepi Mongiardino's selection of rums is exclusive to Moon Import.

The color of Rum is determined by the duration of aging in oak barrels, but also by the product contained in the barrel in its previous use.
