Light rum

A clear, unaged or minimally aged rum distilled from molasses or sugarcane juice, with a clean, slightly sweet flavor and light body. Light rum's neutral profile makes it the most versatile rum style, essential in Daiquiris, Mojitos, and Cuba Libres, where other flavors need to shine.

Flavor Profile

Clean, light nose with subtle sugarcane sweetness and mild tropical fruit. Palate is smooth and delicate with gentle rum warmth and minimal molasses. Short, clean, dry finish.
