FYI for Rum Drinkers
As a rum drinker, knowing the history and varieties can help make informed choices and expand your list of favorites. Grand Cayman is the perfect place to pursue a libational tour through the world of rum.
Rum was first created through the by-products of sugarcane production in the Caribbean and West Indies during the 1600s, and most rum is still produced in this region, but not all.
Just like the pirates of old who used rum for nutrition, hydration, and enjoyment, the rum drinkers of today appreciate these benefits as they enjoy many more varieties and brands with varying flavor profiles and characteristics.
Light/white rums are lightly flavored with a clear color. Through many filterings and a lower aging time, this rum is mostly used for cocktail mixing. We suggest you try Cayman’s own Tortuga Light. It has a 40% ABV as an 80 proof alcohol.
The next type of rum is amber or gold rum. These rums are aged after distillation in wood barrels to allow the rum to ripen into a deeper flavor and darker color. They’re also commonly used for mixed drinks, but some rum drinkers embrace rum by itself. Consider Ron Barralito 3 Star, the flagship rum of Puerto Rico, for your cocktails.
Slightly darker, black or dark rum comes from the use of molasses, a common sugarcane byproduct. The aging process is generally completed within oaken barrels, and the result is sweet, smoky, and quite dark. Governor’s Reserve Dark is distilled right here in Cayman, and you can even tour the Cayman Spirits Co. during your stay on Grand Cayman.
Rum can also come in spiced varieties. As the name implies, spices and caramel may be added to traditional rum to add a striking flavor, and the rum is aged similarly to dark rum. Captain Morgan’s Spiced Rum is a widely held favorite.
For rum lovers, a trip to the Caymans is the perfect opportunity to see how the “sausage” is made. A guided tour of the Cayman Spirits Co. distillery will walk you through the remarkable process of production of Seven Fathoms rums, Gun Bay Vodka, and Governor’s Reserve. This tour is a fabulous way to enjoy a “spirited” day in Grand Cayman.
If you’re on Grand Cayman for the long haul or a short while, enhance the moments when you buy rum from Jacques Scott Wines & Spirits. We’ll deliver it free to your doorstep quickly and at a fair price.
