Rum is flavored and available in bottles. Immediately after the distillation stage, the color of the alcoholic beverage is colorless. However, two types of rum are best known - dark and white.
What is the difference between dark and white rum
The main difference between white and dark rum is the aging period, or in other words, the aging of the alcoholic drink.
Other differences are that light rum has a much lighter taste and aroma. It is considered the lightest type of rum, so its main application is as a base in various rum cocktails.
Dark rum, on the other hand, as a more aged variety, has a much more pronounced flavor and aroma properties.
White light rum is completely transparent. This fact is due to the fact that the drink is aged in metal containers, which do not affect the color, taste and aroma of the final drink.
Dark rum is found in black, brown or red. It is characterized by a rich taste and a pronounced aroma. They feature flavors of molasses, spices, spiciness and caramel.
