Rum, Rebellion & Reinvention – Why Rum Month at The Nuthatch Is Unmissable
The Nuthatch · 5 June 2025
A Spirit Steeped in History
Rum's journey began in the 17th-century Caribbean, born from sugarcane molasses and quickly entwined with colonial trade, piracy, and naval tradition. It fueled the infamous Triangle Trade, served as currency, and became a daily ration for British sailors until 1970.
A Modern Revival
Today, rum is experiencing a renaissance. From the Caribbean's Mount Gay Distillery, the world's oldest commercial rum producer, to innovative bars worldwide, rum's versatility is celebrated in classic and contemporary cocktails alike.
