/public_content/features/articles/b/virginie-boone/posts/an-introduction-to-rhum-agricoleRum has a long and storied history. The origins of rum and other sugarcane spirits can be traced to the Americas, but rum can be made anywhere that sugarcane is grown, and half of the countries in the world grow sugarcane today, according to Tristan en-USTelligent Community 13https://www.guildsomm.com/public_content/features/articles/b/virginie-boone/posts/an-introduction-to-rhum-agricoleMon, 29 Apr 2024 00:52:13 GMT8277e151-5ba9-4335-93f0-6f497ffb8dc4:91751294-5d16-41ba-ae4b-55cee8459ecaGeoff Murray0<p>Thank you for the informative article, Virginie. &nbsp;This is the first I&#39;d read that Agricole represents less than one percent of the global market. Wow. And growth does not appear to be keeping pace with the finely distilled/rare scotch and whiskey market. Perhaps limited distribution across North America is contributing to the low penetration? To wit, I&#39;ve purchased most of my Agricoles in France and they&#39;ve been &quot;imported&quot; by virtue of carefully-packed checked luggage.</p><img src="https://www.guildsomm.com/aggbug?PostID=17178&AppID=8039&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">https://www.guildsomm.com/public_content/features/articles/b/virginie-boone/posts/an-introduction-to-rhum-agricoleTue, 09 Apr 2024 21:00:48 GMT8277e151-5ba9-4335-93f0-6f497ffb8dc4:91751294-5d16-41ba-ae4b-55cee8459ecaVojtech Cukor0<p>Thank you for very interesting and useful look on rum. I was curious to see Božkov among the 10 best-selling rum brands, given that their flagship product is a rum-flavoured sugarbeet, potato or god only knows what distillate that cannot legally be called rum. Truly vile potation. They also produce &quot;real&quot; rum now. I would be really surprised if the 1,3 milion cases sales came from the latter category.</p><img src="https://www.guildsomm.com/aggbug?PostID=17178&AppID=8039&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">https://www.guildsomm.com/public_content/features/articles/b/virginie-boone/posts/an-introduction-to-rhum-agricoleSat, 06 Apr 2024 12:43:06 GMT8277e151-5ba9-4335-93f0-6f497ffb8dc4:91751294-5d16-41ba-ae4b-55cee8459ecaJonas Landau0<p>Great article and great to know the history behind Rum.
