The world of rum is far bigger and more diverse than many people realise.
After exploring five very different expressions in World Explorer #1, we’re continuing the journey with another five fascinating rums from around the world.
World Explorer #2 takes us to El Salvador, Jamaica, Grenada, Réunion and Cape Verde — with very different raw materials, production methods and rum traditions along the way.
🥃 Ron Colón Salvadoreño – El Salvador
An unusual blend bringing together different styles of rum and a great example of how producers can approach blending in unexpected ways.
🥃 Worthy Park White Overproof – Jamaica
A powerful unaged Jamaican rum showcasing the character that pot still distillation and Jamaican fermentation can deliver.
🥃 Renegade Dunfermline Farm Column – Grenada
Produced from fresh sugarcane juice grown in Grenada, this expression demonstrates Renegade’s terroir-focused approach to rum and takes us in a completely different direction.
🥃 Savanna Lontan Grand Arôme – Réunion
A distinctive high-aroma rum from Réunion demonstrating another fascinating tradition within the wider rum world.
🥃 Barbosa Amado & Vicente Grogue – Cape Verde
Grogue takes us somewhere different again. Produced from fresh sugarcane juice in Cape Verde, it brings another unique regional tradition into our World Explorer journey.
Five rums. Five very different origins and production traditions.
Together they demonstrate why it’s so difficult to define rum by a single flavour, style or method of production — and why there’s always something new to discover.
And we’re nowhere near finished yet.
Future World Explorer videos will continue travelling around the world, discovering even more countries, traditions and styles that demonstrate just how diverse rum can be.
