Top-Rated Rums

Where Can I Buy Rum in Cayman IslandsAlthough the sugar-rich islands of the Caribbean and West Indies may have been the birthplace of rum production, and still produce the majority of it today, rum is now also produced in places like Austria, Australia, Canada, Fiji, India, Japan, Mauritius, New Zealand, the Philippines, Reunion Island, Scotland, South Africa, Spain, Taiwan, Thailand, and the U.S..

Barbados – The world’s oldest existing brand of rum (since 1703), Mount Gay Rum comes from Barbados. The distilleries are in the northern part of the island where the Island’s best sugarcane grows. Other rums come from Barbados, but Mount Gay Silver is one of the most prominent and makes an excellent cocktail or mixing rum.

Bermuda – Produced in Bermuda since 1806, the award-winning Gosling’s Black Seal Black Rum has been blended by the Gosling family for generations. This is the rum that is combined with ginger beer to create Bermuda’s national drink – the Dark ‘N’ Stormy cocktail.

Cayman – Grand Cayman’s own Seven Fathoms Rum is an award-winning golden rum that is aged in wooden bourbon barrels seven fathoms under water. It is the first spirit to be made entirely in the Cayman Islands, and is made with local ingredients, including sugarcane from Grand Cayman’s East End.

CubaHavana Club 7 Años – “El Ron de Cuba” (“The Rum of Cuba”) –is a full-flavored, rich and sophisticated Cuban-style rum with plenty of elegance and class. The sweetness of the molasses-filled rum is balanced out by peppery oak spices and notes of wood and leather that give it an unmistakable smoky character.

Guatemala – Many consider dark rum to be the purest expression of one of the most widely used sugarcane byproducts, molasses. The rum is then typically aged in oak barrels to further develop its dark color and smoky-sweet flavor. Ron Zacapa 23 is handcrafted in Guatemala and aged between 6 and 23 years at 2,300 meters above sea level.

Jamaica – The Appleton Estate has produced rum since 1749 and is the country’s oldest continuously run distillery. The estate where the sugarcane is harvested, processed, distilled, and aged encompasses over 11,000 acres in Jamaica. We heartily recommend the full-bodied, medium-sweet Appleton Estate Signature Blend Rum,  once bottled as Appleton Estate V/X, which is distilled and blended by Appleton Estate and bottled at 40% ABV.

Martinique – In 1887, Homère Clément bought a sugarcane plantation in Martinique and pioneered “rhum agricole,” a style of rum distilled from freshly squeezed sugarcane juice instead of molasses. Rhum Clément is distilled on a column still and then aged for a minimum of 3 years. According to the company, particular oak barrels are chosen for their rich natural sweetness and intense aromatic qualities.
