The very first Rhumerie in Dubai at Le Meridien Mina Seyahi
Guests can now enjoy the very first Rhumerie at the Lobby Lounge (next to Tang Restaurant, famous for its molecular gastronomy). The Rhumerie features a selection of over 60 different rums from around the world…a number set to increase in time.
Our inspiration
We were inspired by the beauty of the Caribbean islands traditions, cuisine, culture, rich history and of course Rum. The menu is designed according to islands featuring Rums. There is a brief description of each islands for our guests to indulge in the experience while sipping the rum.
A Historical look at Rum: Rum is a distilled beverage made from sugarcane by-products such as molasses and sugarcane juice by a process of fermentation and distillation. The distillate, a clear liquid, is then usually aged in oak barrels. The majority of the world's rum production occurs in and around the Caribbean and in several South American countries, such as Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana and Brazil, though there are rum producers in places such as Australia, Fiji, India, Reunion Island, Mauritius, and elsewhere around the world.
There was rum at weddings and funerals, baby christenings, boat launchings or the dedication of a new home or public building. From planters to laborers, there was always a cause for libations. Indeed, a bottle of rum, which was believed to have curative properties, was even kept on hand for first aid purposes.
