I tried a lot of different alcohol kinds, and when I tried rum for the first time aftet all of that, I fell inlove, now I only drink rum and recommend to everyone, no dizziness no hangovers only good vibes and energy
Please edit this travesty. Rum originated in Barbados. The first documented sale of rum actually occurred in the 1600s from Barbados and this was several years after the first production of the spirit.
While researching this subject, we found that most sources stated that the first form of rum first originated on the island of Nevis. A 1651 document from Barbados does indeed the first official sale of this. However, rum production was also recorded in Brazil in the 1520s, and many historians believe that rum found its way to Barbados along with sugarcane and its cultivation methods from Brazil.
Pretty cool video, but I think it's a little tone-deaf to talk about Rum's origin's in such a brief and lighthearted way. There's some dark and bloody history there and I think it does people a disservice to just breeze right through it like it was some kind of group science project between slaves and plantation owners... I realize it's outside of the scope of this video, but I just want you to consider that. Thank you for at least touching on it.
This is one of the most ignorant stories Ive heard about rum... Some correct facts , and full of absurde opinions , expressions and conclutions...its a mess ...Sorry , but its terrible...
Most definitely! The next history video we have scheduled is for Gin (coming out next week) and then we go straight to Brandy. In the meantime check out the Cognac episode. Cheers 🥃🥃
Nice vid. I have $5000+ of rum. Zacapa and dictador are for casuals. Foursquare, Hampden, Worthy Park, Chairmans reserve, and clairin are the real deal

@@Kamamura2 that is very inaccurate Sr, is a family own company that started wbdon Facundo Bacardi a SPANISH immigrant that revolutionized the production of rum with his pioneer methods so I will say inform yourself better.
It's a sad part of history and indeed, it wouldn't have been the same without them. If you would raise a glass in their honor, which rum would you pick?

Incorrect information. 17th century West Africa has no history of distillation. Rum was created on Barbados by Scottish and Scotch-Irish indentured servants.
I hope your history of rum is more accurate than your history of the American Revolution! The colonists "revolted" because Britain forbade the expansion of land ownership and slavery west of the colonies and large plantation owners like Washington wanted to increase their land and slave holdings westward. Taxation had little to do with it.
We didn't claim that the sugar tax caused the colonists to revolt by itself, only that it contributed to it. Hope you still enjoyed our video on the history of rum, we're curious to hear your thoughts.

This is one of the most beautiful explanation of this delicious Spirit. Words to live by!
Cheers to you and Rum 🥃
agreed. i gave up my bourbon for fine aged rum.
Me too brother. Me too
The King didn't tax anyone, Parliament did. This was post-Revolution of 1688, the Crown had no direct governmental authority.
Rum the only spirit worth drinking, but only on its own. Or add a tot to a pint of Guinness.
but why is the rum gone?
Excellent comment 🤌 very under rated

I love the legends captain Morgan and Bacardi 😋😍
Does captain even make a rum that isn't "spiced"?
Zacapa is perfect for preserving dead bodies due to all the added sugar that has germicidal effect.

4:08 Anybody know how to find the show/movie/ad that was shown called "a glassfull of history" with burgess meredith about rum?
We've also been trying to find this but were unsuccessful. Do let us know if you are able to find it!
Ah rum🇧🇧
Rum has been described(and recommended) in many ancient sanskrit texts.
Not a surprise since India is the birthplace of sugar and sugarcane.
Wow,for real?Can I have a reference?
@@subzero8410 I think I read it on Wikipedia.

AF Ward my great great grandfather founded rum on the island of Barbados.
Thank you Barbados is the birth place.
The British army in the 80's we used to get a tot of rum in tea at Christmas called gunfire
As a proud Nevisian, thank you for this video
Martinica y Guadalupe have the best quality of rum, came from directly by sugarcane juice
Loved this video! Do you happen to know where I could get a copy of "A Glassful of History"? Thanks!

I agree, the sugar cane process in and of itself is quite bloody from what I have heard. Those old methods can cause burns beyond belief.
There’s only so much you can put in a 5 minute video lol I’m sure there’s others that go into more detail this is just a synopsis
…Bah
“The words rum and death should mean the same thing to you. Do you understand?”
We have to admit, it took us a while before we got the reference! It's been a while since we watched treasure island.
the biggest problem with alcohol is that it was discovered too early.
When would you say would be an appropriate time for it to be discovered?
Great video! 👍
Sorry Rhum started in Asia.
😮
Australia is still known for drunkenness and debauchery trust me I am Australian well the best kind of Australian a Queenslander

Well no Bacardi mentions on a brief history of Rum?
Isn't not the best !
Closed to pharmacy alcohol with a tast of cane
You mean cheap, imitation "Cuban" hooch produced by Sicilian mafia family with the compliance of the US government?

I'll take Wray & Nephews Overproof Jamaican white rum
Ron Zacapa and Ron Botrán. ❤
Remember the colonial slaves are legends they played a major part

Barbados is the home of Rum!!! 🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧
Martinique is !
@@marlene97280 sorry but thats not even close. Barbados started in 1703 whereas Martinique did in 1765. Thats 62 years after! Nice try though.

Hahah rum- rumige throw

By slaves.
I stopped watching after "zacapa, dictador and botran are shortnames
for quality"
Slaves did not invent rum
That is a naked statement of denial.
So, you want to say it was the slave-owners.
