CNN – From Sugar Cane To Rum
Ever wondered how rum is made?
Here, I show the collection of the sugar cane (amazing machines!), the crushing of the cane to produce of the molasses (by a very old steam engine!) and the distillation of the finished rum.
No camera men were hurt in the production of this film – but I got a bit worried as the cane cropping machines came just a bit too close – closer then they’d promised!
I was relieved when they did a very sudden “about turn” – but then hit the overhead power lines – see if you can spot it!
They later promised they could see me safely – phew!
