Back to Goods (Civ4Col)
Rum sells for more than sugar.
Civilopedia[]
Rum, an alcoholic beverage made from sugar, was thought to be invented in Southeast Asia, but only became one of the world's favorite libations upon its arrival in the New World. Molasses, a sickly-sweet syrup left over when refining sugar, became the key ingredient for the creation of rum and by the 17th century, rum had grown into a profitable business of the Caribbean and New England. Over the next three hundred years, rum production grew into a massive industry -- in fact, rum companies were some of the world's first multi-national corporations.
