Things change when you age, right? Rum is exactly the same. Aged rum specifically can span from light to dark hues and their flavors differ as they age. Some rum gets bottled immediately from the barrel, but aged rum stays to age a bit longer in charred oak barrels.

Aged rum is made from fermenting molasses or sugarcane juice and then distilling it. What makes aged rum aged is they are then set aside to sit longer than a more distilled, clear rum. The aging of rum makes for a perfect smokey and spicy, caramel flavor.

You can warm up a glass and have it neat or add to a cocktail. For the best sipping experience, we recommend watering down your aged rum with a couple of ice cubes or a splash of water. The diluting brings out the subtle flavors and brings down the ABV overall. Win-win.

When we think of aged rum we think of three refreshing cocktails: mojito, daiquiri, and a pina colada. You’ll be set with all three.
