WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHITE, LIGHT AND SILVER RUM?
A white rum white like BACARDÍ Superior can also be known as a light rum or silver rum – you might have heard the bartender asking you if you would like a “light rum” mixer, or a “white rum drink” or even a “silver rum cocktail” – these are all white rum drinks.
BACARDÍ Superior inspired a cocktail revolution as the first mixable rum.
In 1862, after 10 years of perfecting his rums, our founder Don Facundo Bacardí Massó introduced the world to his BACARDÍ Superior rum. A sublime rum for cocktails, it doesn’t dominate other flavors nor does it disappear when mixed. It’s perfect for classic rum cocktails like the Mojito.
Don Facundo was the first to purposely age his rum bases to develop specific flavor profiles to blend together (a process that had been commonly used in European dark spirit such as whiskies and brandies). This resulted in a BACARDÍ rum house style that is very well-balanced and light within its category.
Within each BACARDÍ rum variant, there is no single dominant flavor note that overpowers the others.
The BACARDÍ house style produces rum variants that are lighter, sophisticated, elegant, and easier to drink than other rums in their category.
