Rum

For a spirit made from sugar, rhum has been a favorite concoction of the “old salts” of the world’s navies and merchant fleets for hundreds of years. By happy coincidence for British sailors, England captured Jamaica in 1655, just about the time rhum was first being distilled in the Caribbean. Captains began allotting their shipmates rations of rhum and lime juice. The juice warded off scurvy and the alcohol killed the bacteria that often made the ships’ water supply questionable.

Hawaii Rum

Hawaii has been producing rum since the mid-19th century and has the particularity of growing in rich volcanic soil and being fed by the pure waters of Mt. Waialeale. In the early 1850s, hundreds of whaling and merchant ships with thousands of thirsty sailors stopped at Hawaiian ports annually, offering a ready market for alcohol.
