Spanish Style

Most Spanish styles of rum are lighter, as many of these countries utilize column stills in their distillation process. However, there is much variation within this category; Cuban styles of rum (Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, US Virgin Islands) are the cleanest, driest, and lightest bodied, while countries like Guatemala and Panama produce highly fruity, brandy-like rums. With Spanish styles of rum, the age on the label will most likely refer to the average age of rums used in the blend (the Solera system), though it can sometimes refer to the oldest rum in the bottle.

English Countries

The English style is the oldest style of rum, and they are prized for their quality. Jamaican and Guyanese rums are the best examples; their pot-still distillation process yields the richest and most aromatic blends, dark and potent with notes of both fruit and molasses. With English style rum, it is the rule that the age on the label must refer to the youngest rum in the bottle

French Countries

French style rum is made from fresh cane juice (as opposed to molasses or cane syrup), and goes by the name rhum agricole. Curious and distinguished, rhum agricole is at once vegetal and fruity, with a dry mouthfeel. The best examples of rhum agricole come from Martinique, Guadeloupe, and Haiti

Cane Spirits from Other Countries

In this section, we house Cachaca (a Brazilian cane spirit made from fresh cane juice), Batavia Arrack (an Indonesian cane spirit with an added red rice distillate), and CSR from St. Kitts (a regional cane spirit that is distilled to a very high proof), as well as a selection of rums blended from island with varying production styles
