Description:

- The item represented in the image is a bottle of Motril's rum. 
- The technique used to produce this rum consists of processing sugarcanes. First of all there is the harvest and grinding of the source material to obtain sugar juice from the sugarcane. Initially this process was considered as a derivated product of sugarcane industry. The juice is then purified, filtered and heated using the so called “crystallization technique”, by which the sugar is crystallised. The result is a dark syrup called “melaza”. After all these stages the product goes under a fermentation period of 24-30 hours. Finally the ageing period starts.
- The material used is mainly sugarcane, together with the tools needed for this process. 
- The area of origin of this rum is Andalusia, and in particular the city of Granada.


The video below presents the production of this rum and some of the stages to obtain it.
