Caribbean Light White Rum
Caribbean Light White Rum is typically a clear, light-bodied spirit, often aged briefly and then filtered to remove any colour. This rum is known for its clean, crisp taste with subtle sweetness, making it an ideal base for cocktails like mojitos and daiquiris. It is typically produced using molasses and distilled in column stills, which gives it a smooth, approachable profile that is versatile for mixing.
Caribbean Gold Rum
Caribbean Gold Rum, also known as amber rum, gets its colour and rich flavour from ageing in oak barrels. This medium-bodied rum is often characterised by notes of vanilla, caramel, and tropical fruits, resulting from the interaction between the spirit and the wood during the ageing process.
Caribbean Dark Rum
Caribbean Dark Rum is a full-bodied spirit with deep, rich flavours, often including molasses, spice, and oak. This type of rum is aged longer in heavily charred barrels, which imparts a darker colour and more intense flavour.
JAMAICAN HIGH-ESTER RUM
Jamaican High-Ester Rum is famous for its “funky” and intensely flavourful profile, which comes from a high concentration of esters developed during an extended fermentation process. This rum is known for its bold, fruity, and sometimes even medicinal notes, making it a favourite among rum enthusiasts looking for a complex and distinctive spirit. High-ester rums are often used in blending to add depth and character to other rums or enjoyed neat by those who appreciate their unique taste.
RUM CONCENTRATE/RUM ESTERS
Rum Concentrate, also known as Rum Esters, is a highly concentrated form of rum used primarily as a flavouring agent in the production of other spirits and in the food industry. This product captures the essence of rum, providing an intense burst of flavour that can enhance the profile of various beverages and culinary creations.
LIGHT WHITE RUM
Light White Rum is a versatile, clear spirit known for its clean, crisp flavour. It is typically aged for a brief period and then filtered to remove any colour. It may be sourced from other locations other than the Caribbean.
SPICED RUM
Spiced Rum is infused with various spices and botanicals during the production process, adding layers of flavour that can include cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg, and clove.
AGED RUM
Aged rum is primarily matured in oak casks, which are prized for the flavours they impart to the spirit. These casks are typically ex-bourbon casks, which are particularly common in the Caribbean rum industry. They contribute notes of vanilla, caramel, and spice.
CACHAÇA
Cachaça is a Brazilian spirit made from freshly pressed sugarcane juice, unlike most rums, which are made from molasses. It is often referred to as Brazilian rum but has a distinct flavour profile, usually described as earthy or grassy with a natural sweetness. Cachaça can be enjoyed un-aged (known as “white” or “silver” Cachaça) or aged (“gold” Cachaça), and it is famously used in the Caipirinha, Brazil’s national cocktail.

What is rum?
Rum is a globally recognised spirit with a rich history and a wide variety of styles, produced predominantly in the Caribbean and Latin America. Although there are no written records of the ‘first’ rum, it’s believed to have originated in the Caribbean in the 17th century, with the first official rum distillery opening its doors in Barbados in the 1650s.
Thanks to its high alcohol content and the ability to store it for long periods, it became popular with sailors in the 1700s to the extent that Navy sailors were given a ration of ‘grog’ a day (rum mixed with water). As time passed, rum became more refined until you have the huge variety available today.
Rum’s flavour profiles can vary significantly depending on factors like the base ingredient (molasses or sugarcane juice), the distillation process, and the ageing method. This diversity means that rum from different regions can taste quite different, offering a broad range of options for consumers and distillers alike.
At Ethimex, we offer a wide range of rum products, all produced to exacting standards. These include various types of Caribbean rum and the Brazilian spirit Cachaça. These rum products are available in bulk for distillers looking to create their own blends or brands.
