Where white rum is clean and neutral, dark rum brings depth — vanilla, caramel, molasses, dried fruit, and warm spice from extended barrel aging. Jamaican rums add funky esters; Demerara rums bring rich, treacle-like sweetness. Essential for tiki drinks, rum Old Fashioneds, and anything that calls for warmth and complexity.
Funky, fruity, and complex. Jamaican rums are pot-distilled with high ester counts — giving them that distinctive tropical fruit and overripe banana character.
Rich and complex with orange peel, vanilla, spice, and a distinctive Jamaican funk. The go-to for a premium Mai Tai or Rum Old Fashioned.
Navy strength and intensely funky — overripe banana, pineapple, and pot-still character. Use sparingly as a float or split-base for tiki drinks.
From Guyana — rich, dark, and treacle-sweet. Demerara rums are heavier-bodied with molasses, burnt sugar, and warm spice. Essential for tiki and Navy Grog.
Lush and decadent — toffee, dark chocolate, dried fruit, and a long, warming finish. Beautiful sipped neat or in a Rum Old Fashioned.
Rich, dry, and complex with less sweetness than El Dorado. A bartender's workhorse Demerara — excellent in a Dark & Stormy or Navy Grog.
