What alcoholic drink is made from molasses?

Rum is an alcoholic drink made from molasses due to the process of fermentation, distillation, and aging. Molasses, a byproduct of sugar production, undergoes fermentation where yeast converts the sugar into alcohol. The resulting liquid, commonly known as "fermented molasses," is then distilled to remove impurities and increase the alcohol content. Finally, the distillate is aged in oak barrels to develop complex flavors, resulting in the popular spirit known as rum.
