Rum

White/silver rum is unaged and light — great for cocktails. Gold rum has some barrel aging for warmth. Dark rum is richly aged with molasses depth. Spiced rum is infused with spices like vanilla and cinnamon. Agricole rum is made from fresh cane juice instead of molasses. Learn more on Spirit Academy.

Standard rum is distilled from molasses (a byproduct of sugar production). Rhùm agricole, primarily from Martinique and Guadeloupe, is made from freshly pressed sugarcane juice, giving it a grassy, vegetal character that’s distinct from molasses-based rum.

A quality white rum is traditional — it blends seamlessly with lime, mint, and sugar without overpowering. Cuban-style or Puerto Rican white rums work best. For a twist, try an agricole blanc for a more herbaceous cocktail.

Absolutely. Aged rums (5+ years) develop complex flavors — caramel, tropical fruit, oak, spice — that reward slow sipping. Look for añejo or solera-aged expressions, and try them in a snifter at room temperature.
