DARK RUM
Dark rum obtains its colour primarily from its aging process in charred oak barrels. As the rum ages, it absorbs compounds from the wood, particularly lignin and tannins, which contribute to its colour and flavor profile. Additionally, some dark rums undergo caramel coloring to achieve a consistent and rich hue. The longer the rum ages, the darker it tends to become as it absorbs more colour and flavor from the barrel. The aging process also allows the rum to develop more complex flavors, often including notes of caramel, vanilla, and spice, which further enhance its depth and character.
