Full-bodied mms are akowed to ferment from 12 to 20 days, often relying on natural or wild fermentation in which the mash is inoculated by the yeast present in the air and starting materials. These mms are twice-distiked in pot stiks to 140—160° proof. Full-bodied mms are often aged from five to seven years in oakbarrels. Caramel color can also be added to give them a darker color. They are produced in Jamaica, Barbados, Martinique, Trinidad, and Guyana. 

An additional feature that makes obtaining many inorganic materials so difficult is that they are not distributed uniformly in the earth s crust. It is a fact of life that the major producers of niobium are Canada and Brazil, and the United States imports 100% of the niobium needed. The situation is similar for bauxite, major deposits of which are found in Brazil, Jamaica, Australia, and French Guyana. In fact, of the various ores and minerals that are sources of important inorganic materials, the United States must rely on other countries for many of them. Table 1.2 shows some of the major inorganic raw materials, their uses, and their sources.

The production of aluminium is based on the electrolysis of molten alumina AI2O3 using the HaU-Herault process. Alumina is extracted in the Bayer process form the bauxite ore which contains 20 to 30 wt% Al. In 2002 the main producers of the ore are Australia (28%), Guinea (20%), Brazil (14%), Jamaica (7%), India (4%), and Guyana (3%) [1.9]. 

Bauxite. A mineral containing a high proportion of aluminium hydroxides, formed by weathering in tropical climates. Its principal sources are Australia, Brazil, France, French Guinea, Guyana, Hungary, Jamaica, Surinam, Russia and former Yugoslavia. It is purified in the bayer process (q.v.) to produce calcined alumina used in the abrasives, electroceramics, refractories and other branches of the ceramics industry. 

Major rum-producing countries are in the West Indies (Jamaica, Cuba, Barbados, Puerto Rico, Guyana and Martinique) and also Brazil and Mauritius.
