There
are four main ingredients involved in the
production of rhum, namely: distilled alcohol,
demineralized water, sugar, and other ingredients.
The rhum is produced by ageing raw alcohol
from cane molasses in oak barrels for two
years or longer depending on the intended
strength, flavor and quality of the liquor.
After ageing, the alcohol is blended with
demineralized water, sugar and other ingredients.
A combination of distilled alcohol of different
vintages is also compounded until the desired
alcohol proof level is reached. The mixture
is then filtered and bottled.
