FIVE BASIC TYPES OF RUM

Light - Usually clear in color, these rums are the perfect base for making cocktails because they are not strong in flavor.
Gold - In general, gold rums have been aged and are frequently mixed with molasses to add flavor and color.
Dark - These rums are usually very dark due to the added molasses and longer period of aging. Bold in flavor, they they can be drank on their own.
Infused - Ranging in styles, these rums reflect the flavor of the ingredients they have been infused with. Popular infusions are mango, banana and coconut.
Spiced - This is usually a gold rum that has been infused with a range of spices.
