Literary notes about rum (AI summary)

Among the few instances in literature where “rum” is employed not as a beverage but as a descriptor of color, its appearance is both striking and evocative. For example, in one passage a series of adjectives—including “Ruby” and “Rudder”—is paraded alongside “Rum,” suggesting that the term is meant to invoke the deep, burnished quality of the liquor’s hue rather than its taste or aroma [1]. In this context, “rum” contributes a warm, earthy characteristic to the visual palette of the text, lending a tactile richness and an atmosphere steeped in both tradition and vibrant sensory detail.
