Clear color. Inviting, complex aromas of maple and brown sugar oatmeal, untanned leather, air popped popcorn, and wool with a creamy, soft, dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body and a warming, interesting, medium-long baked pear, butterscotch, and tortilla finish. A warm and rather balanced white rum with bold flavors for hand-shaken Daiquiris.

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.
