Discovering amber rum

Amber rum is an alcoholic beverage that ages on average 18 months in oak casks. Rum is a spirit from the distillation of pure cane juice, whose first litres were produced in the early 17th century in the French West Indies. Amber rum can be produced from agricultural rums thanks to this composition with pure sugar cane juice, but also from traditional rum made from molasses. By comparison, amber rum is an intermediate category between white rum and aged rum. White rum has no ageing time in wooden casks. Aged rum is aged for several years, so much longer than amber rum.

Amber rum is precisely a white rum whose ageing lasts between 12 and 18 months. A white rum whose ageing in wooden casks does not exceed 12 months is considered a brown rum. Some amber rums can age up to 36 months in wooden casks. Beyond 36 months in wooden casks, the rum is considered "aged".

Amber rum can be kept in casks that have previously stored aged rum or even whisky. This allows some amber rums to deliver atypical aromas. Amber rum has the particularity of delivering woody and spicy aromas. For the most original amber rums, aromas of vanilla, almond, citrus, caramel or even coconut can be perceived.

Made from sugar cane, rum was the fruit of sugar cane production in the West Indies. It was precisely in 1694 that Pierre Labat had the idea of distilling sugar cane to make alcohol. It was in the 18th century that the first traces of amber rum appeared. Amber rum was first produced by Jacques Bally, who stored rum in wooden casks for several months. Over time, this rum aged in wooden casks took the name of amber rum. Other designations such as golden rum or straw rum can refer to amber rum. English speakers translate amber rum as "rum gold".

It should be noted that amber rum has a lower alcohol content than classic rum. This is due to its preservation in wooden casks which causes part of the alcohol to evaporate. That is why amber rum can be smoother on the palate than a classic rum. It is also considered sweeter than a white rum.

Amber rum is enjoyed in starred gastronomic restaurants as an aperitif or digestif. As an aperitif, amber rum can feature in cocktails such as ti punch, cuba libre, ginger fever, mai tai or mojito. Amber rum is sometimes used to produce flavoured rum. Amber rum is appreciated for making flavoured rum thanks to a lower alcohol content than white rum. Amber rum ideally accompanies certain desserts thanks to its sweet taste.

Amber rum can be vintage.
