Rum brands across the globe are making spirit connoisseurs sit up and take notice of this spirit that is now being revered in the same light as other premium spirits. The other traditional tale of rum’s origins has roots in the Caribbean, but there is a strong history of rum being created in India, due to the country’s vast sugarcane fields, that predate this. From long before the world discovered rum, in Indian history, Sidhu, or molasses rum, was popularly consumed in the country. The distillation process of rum has been refined and adapted, adding finesse and flavour, to bring out the finest forms of this alcoholic beverage ever produced.

Rum is now an inherent part of culture globally, with different styles – French, Spanish, and English being the main ones – and each of these styles is interpreted differently in different regions of the world. Rum is now a notable contributor to the ever-growing alcoholic beverage markets globally. Here is a roundup of some of the finest and most exclusive rums that the world has to offer.

Derived from the Sanskrit word for liquid gold, Camikara is the first pure cane juice sipping rum to come from India, after being matured for twelve (12) long years in a small batch of American oak, Ex-Bourbon barrels. This process at the Piccadilly Distillery produced a mere 6.6% of the original filled quantity left to be savored by us and the remaining 94.4 % evaporated as angels share, which makes it one of its kind to be ever released to the consumer. Bottled at a strength of 50% ABV, Camikara has no added color, caramel, sugar, or flavors, making it a 100% natural rum. This rum is also the first ever Indian rum to win a Gold Medal at the International Wines & Spirits Competition (IWSC) 2023.
