How many calories in Bacardi Gold Rum?

Well for one fitness and drinking don't go hand in hand. But a majority of us like to be fit and have a wild time or two.

So a little history on Rum:

Rum is a distilled alcoholic beverage created from sugarcane byproducts, like molasses or honey, or directly from sugarcane juice, by process of fermentation and distillation. 

Nearly All the world's rum production happens from the Caribbean and Latin America.  Rum is also created in Austria, Spain, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, the Philippines, Reunion Island, Mauritius, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, Japan, America, Canada, India, Nepal, and United Kingdom.
Rums are produced in a variety of grades. 

Light rums are generally utilized in cocktails, whereas "gold" and "dark" rums were typically consumed directly or neat, on the stones, or used for cooking, but are now commonly consumed with pellets.  Higher class rums also are known as "Premium Rums" are also available. These are usually consumed either directly or iced.

 This drink has famous associations with the Royal Navy. The Rum had been blended with water or

beer to generate grog. During the piracy instead of making grog which didn't taste that great. The merchantmen mixed rum with water, sugar, and nutmeg calling it Bumbo.

Rum has also served as a favorite medium of economic exchange, used to help finance enterprises like slavery (see Triangular trade), organized crime, and military insurgencies (e.g., the American Revolution and Australia's Rum Rebellion).
