Except that it's the obsolete and least useful system of rum classification - according to color, which is mostly controlled by adding the E150a (caramel) food coloring. So "light, gold, dark" rum does not really say anything about the rum itself. Much more useful information can be conveyed by proper categorization - for example, if the rum is made from sugar cane juice (agricole), or molasses (industrial), if it's tropically or continentally aged, if it's English, Spanish or French style rum, if it's cask or solera aged, and what type of barrels, if special barrels are used to finish the aging, if it's a pure rum (unsweetened, unflavored, or even uncolored), or what additives were used, etc. Nobody orders "yellow whisky", or "dark cognac", why are we stuck to this foolish system with rum?
I'm huge rum lover. I like rums that have complex flavour. I like those 12,15 years aged rums that have nice woody, dark and full taste to it like El Dorado or Plantation rum for example but on the other side I also like sweet spiced complex rums that have taste like vanilla, raisins,caramel or chocolate and also are heavy on caribbean spices like Captain Morgan Dark Spiced or Legendario Elixir de Cuba... I don't like rums that have flat taste, ethanolic... white rum can be great sometimes also especially in coctail and if it has that sugarcane sweetness so you can taste sugarcane the most haha. Interesting video by the way :D
I noticed that you have captain morgan spiced rum. In Australia it is no longer labeled as rum, just captain morgan spiced gold. The bottle gives no indication of just how much or little rum it contains.
Yes it's only 70 proof or 35% ABV....in the US they can call it flavored or spiced rum to get around the 80 proof 40% ABV regulations. Thanks for watching and the comment.
Great post/video Now is dark rum better for u than white rum? I ask because of the sweetness/sugar that i think will cause a worser hangover than light rum. Which I've heard dark liquor causes worse hangovers.
Nice video! Interesting to watch, I've always wondered the differences between the types of rum, I'd to see a similar video with types of gin or vodka , keep up the good work :D
These vids are so good. Either the aspiring bartender community is small or your vids are being hidden by RUclipss algorithm because of the alcohol, bc otherwise this channel would blow up.
Always such good info!! Love this channel it’s...delicious! Lol I think it would have been cool to seen a line up of the colors in a clear glass not just in the bottles. Is dark rum that dark or is that dark glass too? Is Malabo clear?
Bodied means the the amount of sweetness and flavor in the mouth. Rums get there flavor from the oak barrels they are aged in. The longer they are aged, the richer sweeter flavor (body). Great question. Thanks for watching!!
Already have one. Link below... Thanks for watching!! Watch "What is the Difference Between Bourbon Whiskey Rye and Scotch" on RUclips ruclips.net/video/eljMPBqe_4M/видео.html
@@MrFredenza Thanks, i'm pretty sure Captain Morgan is Canadian but beyond that i've no idea and there aren't any video on it. I been asking many rum channels or channels with rum videos but you are the first to actually take notice. I cant wait till you upload it.
Great Video describing the various rums.Do you know what the favorite Rum is in the country of Honduras ?Generically I was told it was White Rum. Do you know of any brand names I can order ? THANKS
Martinique Neisson, Trois Rivière, JM, la Flibuste they have the best rum quality and Guadeloupe too They will everytime international constest in the top 3
you say bacardi is stored in steel barrels for 1 year then filtered to remove any color,, that makes no sense was this a mistake on your part? because on there official website they say its aged in chared american oak for 1 year then filtered through a variety of charcoals,, i am assuming the filtration is to imporve taste and perhaps add some but might also be to remove any color imparted by the wood , i been trying to figure out how this rum is white after aging in barrels and still doubted that charcoal filtering alone will make it white but perhaps they use large butts that did not impart much color as much as it did flavor , as a distiller myself i can say there is some color filtering happening when using coals but only if done several times and there was very little discoloration to begin with
Thanks for the explanation. What do people mean when they say aged rum? Are all dark rum aged? What is the minimum amount of years aged for rum to be considered "aged"?
There are no strict rules for aging like with Whiskey. Also the color doesn’t say anything about it’s age. Most rum are blends of different kinds of rum. Adding molasses or caramel can darken the color. Because a lot of rum are blends, they can take a 1 year old rum and add a bit of a 10 year old rum, and still say 10 years aged. I think it makes rum interesting because there are so many different flavors.
Weird mix of leaving out the helpful information (e.g. distillation method, use of spirits coloring), while randomly adding incorrect information (e.g. the false claims that the color in the rums displayed derives from aging, and that spiced and flavored rums must be aged). Oh yes, and apparently Bacardi is aged in "steel barrels" (whatever those are), before filtration to remove the color - no explanation of how the steel barrels impart color. Maybe rust?
Great question...Pirates drank “grog" which is essentially any of a variety of alcoholic beverages but for the most part pirates drank “rum grog" a mixture of watered down rum later with the inclusion of citrus as an aid to help combat scurvy.
Hi, thanks for sharing this video. I want one suggestion from you. I want to make rasin and rum center filled chocolates for my dad's birthday, what king of rum will best suit chocolate and raisin flavour. (*Chocolate is semi sweet 55% cocoa). Your experience will surely help me.🙏
Yes....I should have been more specific in the dark rum category. Black rum is also known as dark rum and has been aged the longest of any of these types of rum. The extended time it spends in wooden casks gives it a dark color and deep, smoky-sweet flavor. Thanks for watching and commenting
Lets start with Cruzan Black Strap Rum. $$ less than Myers, not overpoweringly sweet and based on the rum served on British Warships in the 17/1800s. Black Seal would be my 2nd choice. Next, ANY rum out of PR is trash. Pick any white or gold from Jamaica or anywhere in the Caribbean and it will be better than Bacardi. Sure it's okay in a pinch (as they ALL are) but for taste Bacardi is the Miller Lite of Rum. Captain Morgan is okay but The Kraken is FAR better, less $$ and with a richer more balanced flavor. Hands done, while Malibu is so weak I'd recommend just adding coconut to whatever rum you like. Lastly, the Don Q 151 is not one I've tasted and frankly rum at that proof is usually more like eating hot peppers than enjoying the taste, but I don't know. Maybe it's the shit and if I see it I will try it and update. Cheers and have one on me!
Quick, informative, and easily understandable. I glad to see a video that doesn’t spend 30 minutes talking about only one type of rum.
Thank you and thanks for watching!!!

Dark rum is the best, nothing comes close to it. For anyone who wants a cheap and tasty example, Plantation Original Dark is what you're looking for
