dark rum

Aged cane liquor

Dark rum is rum that has been aged longer in charred barrels, giving it a deeper color and richer flavor than white or gold varieties.

The extended aging produces notes of molasses, caramel, and spice.

Dark rum appears in cocktails like the Dark 'n' Stormy and is often used in baking: The recipe calls for dark rum in the glaze.
