Rum is an old spirit with a somewhat troubled history (see: colonialism and slavery).

But today, rum is a strikingly diverse category with producers around the globe, from Trinidad to the Philippines (to, as you’ll see, New England). Its breadth of locations and flavors can be rewarding, although it makes the spirit somewhat hard to define — like when you want to discuss the nebulous concept of “dark rum” or the very real category of “rhum.”

For National Rum Day, Inside Hook showcased some women and/or BIPOC brands and distilleries that hail from unique parts of the world and tell a different or unique story. We’re proud to day Kasama Rum is one of them!
