Clear color. Aromas and flavors of lemon oil, parchment, wet hay, black pepper, banana, and coconut taffy with a supple, crisp, dry light-to-medium body and a warming, buoyant finish. A tinge of vanilla sweetness makes this a very good base spirit for cocktails.

White Rums are generally light-bodied (although there are a few heavy-bodied White Rums in the French islands). They are usually clear and have a very subtle flavor profile. If they are aged in oak casks to create a smooth palate they are then usually filtered to remove any color. White Rums are primarily used as mixers and blend particularly well with fruit flavors.
