Dark rum Caracas Club Strana 1 z 1

Dark rum is the soul of the Caribbean. Unlike white rum, it ages longer, often for several years, in oak barrels that give it a rich amber to mahogany colour. Its flavour reflects a blend of caramel, cocoa, vanilla, dried fruit and woody notes.

Its aroma is warm, sweet and complex, making dark rum the perfect companion for slow sipping. Every sip is a small ritual.

How dark rum is made

Dark rums are made by distilling molasses from sugarcane, but their character is defined primarily by the ageing process. They typically mature in barrels previously used for bourbon, sherry or wine, gaining both colour and depth of flavour. Longer ageing brings more intense notes from caramel and nuts to a gentle smokiness.

Some brands also use the Spanish Solera method, where rums of different ages are blended together. The result is a smooth, harmonious spirit with a beautiful balance of sweetness and spice.
