History of rum
In their colonial empires, the Portuguese and Spanish, then the French and English, who already knew the art of producing brandy, very early on derived a strongly alcoholic beverage from cane juice. Advances in distillation made it possible to produce them on a large scale. Initially reserved for the use of blacks, buccaneers and all the scavengers of the seas of the New World, rum was also used on the coasts of Africa as a bargaining chip in the slave trade. As a drink, it did not spread to Europe and North America until the eighteenth century. Until today, its production and consumption have remained linked to colonial upheavals and the convulsions of the metropolises, the main one being Prohibition in the United States in the twenties. The evolution of this now almost mythical drink reflects a good part of the turbulent history of both sides of the Atlantic.
