Dark Rum
Barrel-aged cane spirit with molasses depth, baking spice, and weight. It stands up to ginger beer and rich tropical builds where white rum would vanish.

The story
Origin and evolution
Extended aging in oak casks gave Caribbean rum its dark color and richer character.
Naval rations and island blending houses shaped the bold, full-bodied style.
The Dark 'n' Stormy cemented dark rum as a highball essential.
