Rum (Ron or Rhum) from Madeira must be obtained exclusively from sugarcane produced in the islands of Madeira and Porto Santo of Portugal. It is an agricultural rum and as such is obtained exclusively by alcoholic fermentation and distillation of sugarcane juice. Its production combines the experience accumulated over generations with the traditional technology of the region, which, although less efficient than more modern methods, results in a traditional final product of high quality and unique characteristics.
At least a minimum of three years of ageing in oak casks.
