MOLASSES RUM, FRESH CANE JUICE RUM AND CANE SYRUP RUM
MOLASSES RUMWe call molasses rum, a rum made from molasses. The industry refers to this type of rum either as" industrial rum" (mainly because molasses is a byproduct of an industrial process) or as "traditional rum" which can be confusing if not misleading.
For lack of better word, we also call molasses rums, blends of molasses and cane juice (or cane syrup) rums. |
CANE JUICE RUMA cane juice rum is a rum made from fresh cane juice. A cane juice rum or Rhum Agricole is a seasonal product because the juice must be extracted, fermented and distilled right after the harvest.
Cachaca is also made using fresh cane juice. They are a number of reasons why we think Cachaca is not rum the most obvious one being its name. All cane juice spirits however share a common heritage. |
CANE SYRUP RUMA Cane Syrup Rum is made from concentrated cane juice obtained by removing most of the water from the fresh cane juice.

WHITE RUM, AMBER RUM, GOLD RUM, AGED RUM
WHITE RUMA white rum is often a rum bottled right after being distilled.
However some white rums have been aged from a few months to a few years and charcoal filtered to remove colour and impurities before being bottled. DUTY FREE Starting from USD 19 |
AMBER OR GOLD RUMAn Amber Rum or a Gold Rum is a rum aged a few months in wooden cask.
Note that aged rums are sometimes called gold rums. To avoid any confusion we call Amber Rum an unfiltered rum aged from 12 to 35 months in wooden barrel. DUTY FREE Starting from USD 19 |
AGED RUMRum Aged in wooden cask for a minimum of 3 years is considered an aged rum. It is also the case for a V.O. (Very Old) rum.
The age statement printed on a bottle refers to the oldest blended rum in the case of Ron and the youngest blended rum in the case of Rhum and Rum. DUTY FREE Starting from USD 29 |
VINTAGE RUM, FULL PROOF RUM, OVERPROOF RUM, DARK RUM, SPICED RUM
VINTAGE RUMA Vintage Rum is rum made (distilled) in the year specified on the bottle. The rum may or may not be aged. By nature they are limited in number.
These rums are suitable as gift and recommend for both rum collectors and rum investors as their price will increase over time. DUTY FREE Starting from USD 99 |
FULL PROOF OR OVERPROOF RUMMost rums are reduced to 40% by addition of water before being sold. A cask strength rum also known as full proof is a rum bottled as is without addition of water.
The strongest rum bottled at 60% or higher are called overproof. DUTY FREE Starting from USD 99 |
DARK OR SPICED RUMSpiced Rum is a generic term for white rum containing herbs, spices, fruits or other flavouring ingredient.
Contrary to popular belief, Dark Rum are not always aged. In fact, many dark rums gain most of their rich color and often their full-bodied flavor from added caramel or molasses. Starting from HKD 280 |
