Celebrate National Rum Day At Backwater Jack's

It's National Rum Day! Here at the Lake of the Ozarks' favorite waterfront bar and grill we love our rum. The best way to enjoy a beautiful day at the Lake is to kick back and enjoy the view with a Rum Runner. Luckily, you can do both at Backwater Jack's! To celebrate National Rum Day, we have gathered five fun facts about rum. We also included some of our favorite drinks made with rum that you can get at the best waterfront bar at the Lake of the Ozarks:

Five Fun Facts About Rum!


 - The oldest known bottle of rum is The Harewood Rum 1780. it is believed to have been distilled in 1780 in Barbados. Fifty-nine bottles were discovered in the basement of the Harewood House in Leeds, UK. 

 - The largest rum tasting event involved 786 participants who tasted five different aged rums. The event lasted three and a half hours and was held in Columbia. 

 - The most expensive bottle of rum goes to a 1940s bottle of J. Wray & Nephew. There are only four known bottles left. It reportedly costs $54,000 for one bottle. 

 - Rum was thought to fight off scurvy and was given to sailors in the British Army mixed with lime and other citrus fruit. However, it was the citrus that fought off scurvy, not the rum. 

 - Captain Morgan, the infamous pirate who sailed the seas in the early 17th century, didn't drink rum. In fact, most pirates didn't! They often drank Spanish wine, as it was easy to plunder. Rum wasn't the drink of choice for pirates until the late 17th and early 18th century when it became more popular with the rise of the West Indian rum trade.
