Rum Spirit

Rum Spirit is a category of rums that retain the character and aroma of true Caribbean rum but are sweeter and lighter, with an alcohol content typically between 30 and 37.5%. This makes them smoother, more approachable, and perfect for everyday enjoyment or cocktail mixing.

What is Rum Spirit

The term “rum spirit” refers to spirits that meet all the quality standards of rum but do not reach the minimum 37.5% ABV required by law for the official designation “rum.” Despite this, they preserve an authentic rum flavour, as they are made in the same way – from molasses, sugarcane, or cane juice, then aged in oak barrels.

Taste and character

Rum Spirits are known for their smoothness, sweet flavour profile, and lighter body. Expect notes of caramel, vanilla, cane sugar, and tropical fruit. With their lower alcohol content, they taste balanced and are a great choice for those seeking a milder yet genuine rum experience.

How to enjoy Rum Spirit

Enjoy it neat, on the rocks, or as a cocktail base – from the classic Cuba Libre to fruity mixed drinks. Thanks to its gentle profile, it’s also popular among those new to rum. Some brands offer flavoured versions (such as coconut, pineapple, or vanilla) for an even more playful and refreshing twist.

Why choose Rum Spirit

Rum Spirit is the perfect balance between full-strength rum and lighter spirits. Great for casual gatherings, summer evenings, or mixology. It keeps the soul of Caribbean rum – just in a softer, more approachable form.
