White rum is usually a light-bodied variant with a soft, sweet taste. It’s often used in light refreshing cocktails, especially favourites, like the Mojito and Daiquiri.
IS RUM SWEET?
Many think that, since rum is made from sugar cane, it must be sweet. But rum comes in a range of sweetness, from barely-there to an all-out sugar rush.
HOW DO YOU MAKE RUM?
Rum is made using only three ingredients: molasses from sugarcane, yeast and water. Ingredients are fermented, then distilled, aged, filtered and blended.
