DIEZ, Oscar A.; SALAZAR, Romina A.  and  CARDENAS, Gerónimo J.. Experience of pilot production of rum in Tucumán, Argentina. Rev. ind. agric. Tucumán [online]. 2013, vol.90, n.1, pp.25-36. ISSN 1851-3018.

The objective of this project was to analyze the technical feasibility of producing alcoholic drinks distilled from the juice and/or molasses of sugar cane produced by small farmers in Tucumán, and to define methodologies and standards for making and aging clear and vintage rum, capable of competing with national and international brands. The project was conducted in three stages during 36 months, between 2007 and 2010: 1) characterization of raw material, 2) blending and aging, and 3) quality control and technical specifications. The obtained product had a high quality and adequate composition.
