Dark rum’s character is further influenced by the tropical climates
Dark Rum
Dark rum is rich and robust, often made from molasses and aged for extended periods in charred oak barrels. The aging process imparts deep flavors of caramel, toffee, vanilla, and spice, with some expressions showing smoky and woodsy undertones.
Dark rum’s character is further influenced by the tropical climates where it’s produced, with regions like Jamaica, Barbados, and Trinidad being prominent producers. These rums tend to have a full-bodied, slightly sweet flavor, making them ideal for sipping or mixing in classic cocktails like the Dark ‘n’ Stormy.
Historically, dark rum was popular in naval traditions, where it was often consumed as part of daily rations.
