The Barbary Coast was a nine block area in San Francisco which arose during the Gold Rush era. It was filled with bars, clubs, brothels, dance halls, saloons and variety shows. Due to these activities, it became a lawless area where pretty much anything went.
Barbary Coast Rhum is made from Columbian sugar cane, using the terroir of the tropics to give its distinct flavor of traditional agricole rum. It's a drier style of rum with earthy, grassy notes. It is made from fermenting the entire juice from sugar cane, unlike typical rum which is made from fermented molasses, a by-product of refining sugar cane juice into white sugar. As France started to refine white sugar from sugar beets, the price of sugar dropped drastically. In the French West Indies, they decided to use the cheap sugar cane to make rum. A good agricole will have a nose that is quite distinct from regular rum. Raff Distillerie ferments sugar cane juice from Colombia and then distills it into high proof rum.
