A Spirited Journey through the Sugarcane-Fueled World of Rum and Rhum:
At Mora’s Fine Wine & Spirits, located in East Setauket, Long Island, NY, we love a good bottle with a good backstory — and few spirits are as rich in history, flavor, and diversity as rum. This cane-derived delight has traveled across centuries, continents, and cultures, developing a multitude of identities along the way. From the molasses-heavy dark rums of the Caribbean to the grassy brightness of French-style rhum agricole, this is a spirit that truly speaks in many dialects.
It’s complex, fun, expressive, and downright delicious — just like the people who love it.
So grab your cutlass (metaphorically, of course), and let’s set sail through the captivating history and many faces of rum. We’ll highlight some of our favorite producers (hello, El Dorado, Planteray, Barbancourt, and Goslings) and finish off with a Rum Old Fashioned that’ll make your tiki bar proud.
