Collection: Buy rum

But how do you recognize good rum, and what criteria are crucial when making a selection? The variety of brands and styles is vast. The term "rum" is a protected designation, which already helps to determine authenticity. The alcohol content also provides an important clue. Officially, rum must have an alcohol content of at least 37.5 percent. If the alcohol content is lower, the spirit may only be referred to as a rum-based liqueur or a spirit. In its undiluted state, rum can reach an alcohol content of up to 74 percent. Such varieties are usually diluted or used for mixing cocktails. Those interested in different types can also browse the current rum offers and discover suitable options in various price and quality classes.

Keep an eye out for rum: Are the color and aging of a rum a quality feature?

Longer aging is generally considered an indicator of higher quality. During storage, rum develops a more intense aroma, similar to whisky or cognac. The dark color results from aging in wooden barrels. Barrels that previously contained other spirits are often used, creating additional aromas. White rum, on the other hand, is usually stored in stainless steel containers, which helps it retain its clear color. Additionally, some manufacturers use additives such as caramel syrup or sugar coloring to influence both color and taste. This often creates a slightly sweet aroma that is particularly appreciated by many consumers.

Rum tastings allow you to get to know different varieties and compare their aromas directly. Especially for beginners, this is an ideal opportunity to try out different styles such as white, golden, or aged rum. But even experienced connoisseurs often discover new favorites at such tastings.
