WHAT IS RUM?
Rum is arguably one of the earliest known spirits due to its simple production process. Its main ingredient, sugarcane, was first known to be fermented as early as 350 BC in India. The first distillation of rum in the Caribbean took place on sugarcane plantations in the 17th century.
Rum is a spirit made from sugarcane molasses or sugarcane juice. The sugarcane is fermented and then distilled. After distillation, the liquid will be clear and typically aged using bourbon casks, wooden casks or stainless-steel tanks. The vessel of distillation plays a key role in what type of rum will result. When aged in oak barrels the rum becomes dark, versus being aged in stainless steel tanks where it remains virtually colourless.
Rums can be categorised in 6 distinct styles
Light Rum – Also known as white or clear rum with a milder flavour and lighter body. Often used in cocktails.
Gold Rum – This spirit has been mellowed in barrels over time to receive its amber or golden hues. They have a more flavourful profile than white/clear rums and are used in cocktails when wanting a stronger flavour.
Dark Rum – Aged for a longer period of time, rums will continue to darken. These bottles tend to be aged for extended periods and offer larger flavour profiles, best enjoyed sipped.
Black Rum – is the darkest in colour but has a light to medium body. It is made from molasses, the dark, sweet liquid left over after manufacturing crystallized sugar. These rums will embody the rich flavours and sometimes include added burnt caramel to darken the colour. Black rum works great for cocktail floaters.
Premium Aged Rum – Aged rums generally take on a darker colour with rich tones and are encouraged to be enjoyed neat or on the rocks like a fine whiskey or Scotch. These rums are labelled with an age statement that correlates to the youngest rum in the blend.
Flavoured & Spiced Rum – When flavours and spices are infused into the rum. The spices added usually come from seeds, fruit, root, leaf or bark of edible flora like ginger, vanilla, allspice, cinnamon and cloves. ABV are also added under this definition. This type of rum is often combined with soda or fruit juices that complement the flavours profiles.
