White rum is a clear, light spirit made from sugarcane byproducts, primarily molasses. It is typically distilled to a high proof and then filtered to remove any color, resulting in its transparent appearance. White rum is often used in cocktails, such as Mojitos and Daiquiris, due to its smooth flavor and versatility. This type of rum is produced in various regions, with notable varieties coming from the Caribbean and Central America. While it has a mild taste, white rum can carry subtle notes of sweetness and tropical fruit, making it a popular choice for both casual and sophisticated drinks.
