Overproof Rum Most rums sold in the United States are bottled at 80 to 100 proof, or 40 to 50 percent alcohol by volume. Some exceptions are rums bottled at 125 to 160 proof or more. These rums tend to be more popular in the Caribbean Islands where locals prefer a stronger drink. They're also used in cooking recipes that call for rum to be ignited in flame (flambé) or drinks that blend a very strong rum into their recipe. Classic rum punches are often made with high-proof rum mixed with tropical juices (and sometimes flavored rums and liqueurs) to deliver a "punch" to those that enjoy them. (9)

Cachaça From Brazil A unique sugar cane liquor made in Brazil is called Cachaça (ka-SHA-sa). Made exclusively from fresh sugar cane juice, cachaças are often categorized as artisanal (small batches made in pot stills, aged in native wooden barrels) and industrial (large volumes made in column stills, unaged and inexpensive). In Brazil, artisanal cachaças are mostly enjoyed straight by connoisseurs, or made into premium cocktails; whereas most industrial cachaças are not aged, being consumed in caipirinhas by the masses.
