About Rum Selection
Rum comes from the distillation of molasses or sugarcane and is an age-old liquor enjoyed since the 17th century. Variations of rum offer light products for mixing drinks or darker, aged rums for sipping. Read on to enhance your appreciation for the spirit known as Rumbullion, Demon Water, Navy Neaters, Barbados Water, Pirate’s Drink, and Grog.
Types of Rum
Rum is typically described by age and color, which correlate to one another, except for spiced rum. The younger the rum, the lighter the color and the less intense the flavor. Older rums have a darker brown color and richer, more robust flavor.
The aging process of rums also differs – light rums in stainless steel tanks or oak barrels and dark rums in charred oak barrels.
Rum makers often use additives like fruit, honey, or syrups to add flavors or change their production or aging methods to affect the flavor profile.
The alcohol content of rum can vary widely, with some premium rums reaching 70%! Be sure that you take note of the ABV of the bottles that you consider purchasing and serving.
Mixed or enjoyed on its own neat or over ice, rum is a versatile spirit. The daiquiri, for instance, would not be the same without rum.
