India is gradually emerging on the global rum scene, although it is not traditionally known for this production. Building on a legendary tradition of spirit production, India is starting to carve out a niche in the world of rum with products that capture the attention of bold enthusiasts seeking diversity and new experiences. A key factor in India's potential lies in its varied terroirs, offering a unique juxtaposition of climates and soils conducive to sugarcane cultivation. At the heart of India's efforts is a desire to stand out with rums that capture the vibrant essence of the region. Local distilleries are not merely content with tradition; they experiment and innovate to create distinctive flavour profiles. Whether it's smoother rum inspired by English traditions or spicier, more characteristic variants, India aims to offer a flavourful palette setting new standards. As this region continues to mature in the art of rum, cellar managers can discover a rich opportunity for diversity with Indian products, adding a fascinating dimension to any dedicated collection.
