What is the proper age of a rum? What is the right documented age of a rum? Can you decide an age of rum by color? All of these are great (and popular) questions that we get on the show and ask ourselves all the time.
The research behind rum ages came to us for two reasons: First, it’s important for us to know as hosts of a popular cocktail show. Secondly, because of many brand ambassadors we’ve met and more industry people we keep running into, this knowledge begins to filter down to us.
It’s very important you understand how rum age works if you’re purchasing a rum. You should know where your money is going to and if you’re spending the right money on the right product. Most importantly, it’s good to uncover how much age statements may not matter and flavor selection dominates your needs.
Next time you go to the store, pay little attention to the color or the mis-leading labels like “Extra Old”, “Ron Añejo”, “XO”, “V/X” and all the other nonsensical statements–pay more attention to the style of rum and the needs of your cocktail.
Explore the flavors from different islands as your primary goal and less time trying to find the oldest rum for the cheapest dollar.
