What it is

The Paramaribo rum: Borgoe — Suriname's beloved rum (from the Surinaamse Brouwerij/SAB tradition, aged expressions to 15 years), plus the Mariënburg estate heritage (the old sugar estate whose rum name lives on) — Suriname's sweetest export after its diversity. Origins: sugar estates lined the Commewijne and Suriname rivers from the 1600s; Mariënburg (1881) was among the largest; modern Borgoe is the national bottle. Made from: molasses, column distillation, oak ageing. How it's made: 1) Distil the cane spirit. 2) Age in the tropical heat. 3) Blend (the 8-year is the sweet spot). Served: neat or with cola at Paramaribo's bars and pom parties. Flavor: caramel, tropical spice. Strength: 40%. Culture: Borgoe is the taste of Surinamese celebrations at home and in the Dutch diaspora. See also: the Suriname cuisines collection (pom and saoto are its feast partners).
