Rum is distilled from the fermented products of sugar cane, usually molasses. As is the case with all distilled spirits, rum is water white when first distilled. Amber and dark coloured rums obtain their colour from caramel and the extractives from the oak barrel during ageing.
Fermentation: Fermentation is the process by which the sugar in molasses is converted into ethyl alcohol by the action of yeast.
Distillation: Distillation is the process of boiling a liquid and condensing its vapour to produce another liquid.
Still Distillation: Wood’s is composed of two different styles of rum:
Rum produced by Wooden Continuous Still distillation and Rum produced by Copper Pot Still distillation
Several different rums are blended together to create Woods
When distilled by the old time pot still method (like Malt Whisky), the Demerara sugar produces a Rum of uncommon flavour & strength.
Blending
Blending is an art form, and the Master Blender uses several different types and styles of rum to create a brand in much the same way that an artist uses different colours to create a painting.
Ageing and Cooperage
Rum ages best in oak barrels that have been charred on the inside, and that nature does not allow for short cuts in the ageing process. The cooperage, is the area where the ageing barrels are assembled before filling.
