RUM

Rum from Different Origins

Rum is one of the most widely traded spirits in the global beverage industry. Produced from sugarcane derivatives such as molasses or sugarcane juice, rum is used in bottled spirits, blending, beverage production, and private label projects.

Different regions produce distinct rum styles depending on raw materials, fermentation methods, distillation techniques, and aging traditions. Caribbean rums, Spanish-style rums, and other regional expressions each offer unique profiles suited for different applications.

The examples below represent rum styles that may be supplied depending on origin, aging, and project specifications.

Spanish-Origin Rum

Spanish-style rum is typically produced using column distillation and is known for a smoother, lighter profile. This style is widely used in blending, bottled rum production, and beverage manufacturing.

Spanish-origin rum is often favored for its versatility and balance, making it suitable for a wide range of commercial spirits applications.

Caribbean Rum

Caribbean rum represents some of the most traditional rum-producing regions in the world. These rums often exhibit richer aromatic profiles depending on fermentation, distillation, and aging practices.

Caribbean rum styles are widely used in both premium bottled spirits and blending projects across international beverage markets.

Aging Options

Rum may be supplied with different maturation profiles depending on project requirements. Typical examples include:

Aging influences the spirit’s color, structure, and aromatic complexity, which can be adjusted depending on the intended use in blending or bottling.

Packaging and Logistics

Bulk rum is commonly supplied in IBC containers and transported in standard shipping containers.

Typical commercial shipments may involve:
• 10 IBC containers per 20’ container
• possibility to combine multiple spirit types within the same shipment depending on logistics

Transport conditions and volumes depend on the specific project and destination.

Commercial Structure

Minimum shipment volumes are typically structured around full container loads, which allows for efficient transport and optimized logistics costs.

Depending on project requirements, different spirit categories may be combined within the same shipment where technically and logistically feasible.
