White Rum

White Rum, often referred to as light rum or silver rum, is a versatile and clear spirit that embodies the essence of Caribbean sweetness and a neutral character. This type of rum is typically crafted from molasses or sugarcane juice and distilled to remove impurities, resulting in a clean and transparent liquid. White Rum is renowned for its light, crisp profile with subtle notes of sugarcane, vanilla, and tropical fruits.

History

White Rum has a rich history dating back to the 17th century, and it finds its origins in the sugarcane plantations of the Caribbean. It was initially produced as a byproduct of the sugar-making process, with early iterations having a more rustic, unrefined quality. As distillation techniques improved, so did the quality of White Rum, evolving into a smooth and approachable spirit that became popular in cocktails and as a base for various tropical libations. The first inklings of rum began on sugarcane plantations in the Caribbean in the 17th century. From the beginning of rum in the sugarcane plantations, the creation and production of rum moved to New England. It was in New England that the fermented molasses was turned into rum on a large scale.
