The process of making rum is long (takes several years) and complex, that´s better to buy it.
FYI the process of making rum is:
Rum is an alcoholic beverage distilled from sugarcane by-products that are produced in the process of manufacturing sugar. Molasses, the thick syrup remaining after sugarcane juice has been crystallized by boiling, is usually used as the basis for rum, although the juice itself, or other sugarcane residues, is also used. The molasses is allowed to ferment, and the ferment is then distilled to produce a clear liquid that is aged in oaken casks. The golden color of some rums results from the absorption of substances from the oak. The darker, heavier rums are produced from a combination of molasses and skimmings from the sugar boiling vats. The fermentation of other substances in the molasses enhances the liquid's flavor and aroma.
After distilling, the rum is sometimes darkened by the addition of caramel and is aged from 5 to 7 years. Lighter, drier rums are more rapidly fermented with cultured yeasts and are aged from 1 to 4 years.
