Europe > Italy

Italy, “The beautiful country” and boot shaped country has the Dolomites in the north and active volcanoes in Sicily in the south. Sugarcane arrived as early as the 8th century, and the maritime republics of Genoa and Venice played a key role in trading and refining sugar and rum traveling East to West. By the mid-1900s, Italy’s whisky blenders and bottlers houses flourished, and pioneered a golden generation of influential rum importers and bottlers globally. Today, rum production in Italy is experiencing a revival. Distilleries are popping up in the north, while Sicily, the country’s only cane juice producer is leading the charge in cane juice rum production. This unique combination of history, expertise, makes Italy’s rum scene one to watch.
