White Rum

White Rum

White rum, often referred to as light rum, is a clear, unaged spirit that has a mild and slightly sweet flavor. It’s typically made from molasses or sugarcane juice and undergoes a filtration process to remove any color imparted by the aging barrels. The resulting rum is clean, with subtle notes of citrus, vanilla, and sugarcane.
White rum is commonly used in cocktails like the Mojito, Daiquiri, and Piña Colada due to its versatility and neutral profile. It’s typically produced in places like Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic.
While white rum is less complex than aged or dark rums, it’s often favored for its light, refreshing qualities in mixed drinks.
