Dark rum and white rum differ primarily in their aging process and flavor profiles. White rum, also known as light or silver rum, is typically aged for a shorter period and often filtered after aging to remove any color, resulting in a clear spirit. It has a lighter, subtler flavor which makes it a popular choice for cocktails like mojitos and daiquiris. Dark rum, on the other hand, is aged longer in charred barrels, which imparts a deeper color along with a richer, more robust flavor. This type of rum often features caramelized sugar or molasses and exhibits notes of spices, making it suitable for sipping straight or for adding depth to cocktails and culinary recipes. The choice between dark and white rum often depends on the desired flavor profile and use in specific recipes.

Store dark rum in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. Keep the bottle upright to prevent the cork from deteriorating. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed to maintain flavor and prevent evaporation. No need to refrigerate.

Dark rum is a versatile and flavorful spirit that can be enjoyed in various ways. Sip it neat or on the rocks to appreciate its full-bodied richness. It’s also a popular choice in cocktails like the Dark ‘n’ Stormy, made with ginger beer and lime, or the classic Rum Punch, blending fruit juices and spices. For a warm treat, add dark rum to hot beverages like coffee or hot chocolate. In cooking, use it to enhance desserts like rum cakes or bananas foster. Its deep, caramel notes also make it a great addition to savory dishes like barbecue sauces or marinades.
