Rum from Mexico

The Spaniards already brought sugar cane seedlings to Mexico in the first third of the 16th century. It is therefore not surprising that there are more sugar cane mills in Mexico today than in its neighbouring countries. Especially the region of Veracruz, which borders on the Gulf of Mexico, is particularly suitable for sugar cane production due to the warm, rainy trade winds.     

Rum has been the national drink in Mexico since the 18th century, even though Mexico is considered the land of tequila. The most famous Mexican rum producer is the Licores Veracruz distillery, which produces the Mocambo Art Edition, a rum that is respected worldwide.
