very interesting. And one of the comments is right:

There's a slight misstatement in this article. "Unlike white rum" should say "unlike most rum." Not all white rum is made with molasses, and not all molasses-based rum is white.
Most French islands make rhum using pressed cane juice as opposed to molasses, and Martinique even has the only AOC outside of France for their Rhum Agricole.

He's right. Except that Martinique is part of France. He should say, outside of Metropolitan France.
