What is RUM?
Rum is a distilled alcoholic drink made from sugarcane byproducts, such as molasses, or directly from sugarcane juice, by a process of fermentation and distillation. The distillate, a clear liquid, is then usually aged in oak barrels. – Wikipedia
Most of the world’s rum is produced in the Caribbean and Latin America but its production has spread throughout the world. Rums are produced in various styles.
LIGHT RUMS (also known as white or silver rums) have nearly no color and are lighter in flavour.
AGED RUMS are aged in wooden casks for some period of time which
gives the spirit its signature color and sweeter, richer flavor.
DARK RUMS are aged the longest of any of these types of rum. The extended time it spends in wooden casks gives it a dark color and deep, smoky-sweet flavor.
SPICED RUM is typically aged for the same length of time as black rum but spices and caramel colorings are added to give it a signature sweet spice taste.
