Mexico is in Middle America, bordering the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico, between Belize and the US and bordering the North Pacific Ocean, between Guatemala and the US. Rum produces here both big international rum producers, Bacardi and Seagram.

The Mexican Standard NOM-V-2-1983 defined

1. Preparation: Rum is obtained by the distillation of a fermented mash prepared solely with sugars of cane origin. The distillates may be rectified and should undergo a maturation process in oak vessels.

2. Maturation: Regardless of the characteristics of the distillate, it cannot be considered to be rum if it has not been matured for at least 8 months.

3. Aged rum ("Añejo" or "añejado"): These terms may only be applied to rum which has been matured for at least 2 years.

4. Alcohol content in % alcohol by volume: From 38% to 55%.
