"In this clip we'll be speaking about the regions where rum is distilled. The epicenter of rum production is in the Caribbean, namely Barbados, they are known for a light-bodied rum which is single distilled in a column still. Also Cuba is known for its light-bodied rum. Whereas the Dominica Republic and Haiti are better known for their full-bodied rums, those are double distilled in hot stills. There are also areas such as Jamaica, which produce a rich, aromatic rum that is distilled in a pot still, and Puerto Rico where light, dry rums are produced. And Puerto Rico, something to note, the light rums are required by law to be distilled for at least one year, and for the dark rums, those are required to be distilled for three years. There is also a bit of rum production in other countries such as South America, USA, Canada, Europe and Australia, although not as prevalent as the Caribbean."
