Tapping House Grand Reserve Dark Rum

40% ABVSouth Carolina

Proprietary blender rum. “Dark rum” is generic for aged, strong-flavored sugarcane spirit of various styles. Most very dark rums get much of their coloration from the addition of caramel coloring. Taken to extreme, the result is a so-called “black rum”. Beneath the caramel color lurks a rum that could be young or well-aged, heavy- or light-bodied, and can be produced anywhere. For example, dark rums from Puerto Rico, Jamaica and Guyana will be dissimilar in body and flavor. Generally speaking, however, dark rum is wood aged less than brown rum, and this is often reflected in relative price (and dark rums seldom claim an age statement). If a recipe simply specifies “dark rum” without providing any additional context, the choice is left up to you.
