While 'golden rum' is a conventionally used rum category, there's so much more that defines a rum than it's colour; from the raw materials, distillation process, ageing, blending, and addition of sugar, sweeteners and colouring, to the flavour profile, character, complexity and provenance. The golden rum category contains a hugely diverse range of products from dry and light rums to rich and sweet rums, and from affordable mixing rums to super premium sipping rums. Always remember to look beyond the colour!

What is Golden Rum?
There is no strict definition of a what makes a rum ‘golden’, but typically golden rums have been aged in wooden barrels for several years, during which time the initially clear spirit gains colour from the wood. Golden rums are generally considered to have more complex flavours than young white rums. Rums can also be made golden in colour by adding caramel after distillation, and this is frequently used to ensure consistency in colour between batches.
