Central American rum is a type of distilled alcoholic beverage made primarily from sugarcane byproducts, such as molasses or sugarcane juice. Countries like Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua are known for producing high-quality rums, often characterized by their rich flavors and smooth finishes. The production process typically involves fermentation, distillation, and aging in wooden barrels, which contributes to the rum's complexity. Many Central American rums are enjoyed neat or in cocktails, showcasing their versatility. Popular brands include Ron Diplomático from Venezuela and Flor de Caña from Nicaragua. These rums often reflect the unique cultural heritage and traditions of their respective regions.
