Whether you’re drinking it neat or sipping on a mojito, rum is a diverse liquor that can be enjoyed myriad ways. Unlike many spirits, including tequila and scotch, rum is produced in dozens of countries throughout the world. White or clear, gold, pale, or dark, this molasses-derived spirit is a wonderful and diverse addition to your liquor cabinet. Fortunately, at Clayton, Georgia’s favorite liquor store, Rabun ABC Package Store, you’ll find every type of smooth, delicious rum you could want.

5 Types of Rum to Try

1. White & Clear

White is light-bodied and mild for easy drinking. This variety is often used in daiquiris, piña coladas, and mojitos. If these are your types of cocktails, consider picking up a bottle of Bacardi Superior® or 10 Cane® at your local liquor store.

2. Gold & Pale

Slightly more aged rum turns a yellow or golden hue, which is accompanied by a slightly bolder taste. This more complex flavor profile—which may include hints of vanilla, caramel, or almond—is perfect for drinking on the rocks or in a variety of cocktails.

3. Dark & Black

Darker and black rums are heavy-bodied and often contain woody, charred, and molasses flavors. Cruzan Black Strap®, Maui Dark Rum®, and Woods 100® are a few makes that are used in cocktails and baking recipes alike.

4. Aged & Vintage

Mature rums have been aged for years in oak barrels, making them the richest and smoothest of all. They may impart dark or reddish hues, the latter in the case of cognac or sherry. These premium varieties may be aged anywhere from six to dozens of years and are best savored neat or on the rocks.

5. Flavored & Spiced

Rum is the perfect liquor to infuse with spices like ginger root, vanilla seed, or allspice. Makes like Captain Morgan® spice up this classic spirit.
