What is Terroir? The definition is the
complete natural environment in which a particular wine is produced, including
factors such as the soil, topography, and climate, the characteristic taste and
flavor imparted to a wine by the environment in which it is produced.

Rums made in Hawaii from locally grown
sugar cane have a very different taste from those made from sugar cane grown in
Martinique, Venezuela, Cuba, Mexico, California, Haiti, Jamaica, Dominican
Republic, or Brazil. Each has its own
terroir and imparts a different taste and flavor to the rums. There is a difference in the taste and flavor
in rums that are made from molasses that originates in different places, but
the terroir of the rums made from sugar cane becomes even more apparent.
