Rum can be divided into light color and dark color. White rum produced in Puerto Rico, Trinidad and Barbados is distilled in a continuous distiller. In order to limit the aging process of rum, it is sometimes aged in oak barrels for only six months, resulting in light-colored rum. Black rum is produced in Jamaica, Haiti and Martinique. Black rum is distilled in a distillation tank and aged for twelve years, sometimes caramel is added to add color and taste. Black rum tastes stronger than white rum. Rum comes from fresh sugarcane juice, sucrose or honey syrup (molasses, a by-product of sucrose squeezing). Sometimes, other sugarcane by-products can also be used to produce rum. Although there are no strict regulations on the composition and distillation method of rum, most rum in the world is distilled from fermented honey syrup, sugarcane sugar or sugarcane juice. Honey syrup is rich in minerals and non-sugar organic compounds, which can make rum have a unique character and taste.
