Gold rum is a type of rum that is typically aged in wooden barrels, giving it a rich, amber color and a smooth flavor profile. The aging process allows the rum to develop complex notes, often including caramel, vanilla, and spices. It is commonly produced in regions like the Caribbean and Central America. This rum is versatile and can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or as a key ingredient in cocktails. Popular drinks made with gold rum include the Mojito and Daiquiri. Its balanced taste makes it a favorite among both casual drinkers and cocktail enthusiasts.
