From Sugar Cane To Rum HD

Ever wondered how rum is made?

Here, Alun Hill shows the collection of the sugar cane (amazing machines!), the crushing of the cane to produce of the molasses (by a very old steam engine!) and the distillation of the finished rum.

No camera men were hurt in the production of this film - but I got a bit worried as the cane cropping machines came just a bit too close - closer then they'd promised!

I was relieved when they did a very sudden "about turn" - but then hit the overhead power lines - see if you can spot it!

They later promised they could see me safely - phew!

Enjoy!

@attase Yeah its like vodka originated in Poland , but everyone rates Russian/Ukrainian vodka as the top stuff...Rum from places like Trinidad Tobago,Jamaica etc are second to none :D

regardless of any debate, to me it is evident that the canary islands was one of, if not the largest contributor to what we know today as Rum.

I bet if someone actually performed a study of the history of rum production in the canary islands they would find evidence of some the true "oldest distilleries" on the planet that may even pre-date the discovery of the new world!
