Golden rum is one of the varieties of the well-known distillate made from sugar cane. Its distinguishing feature is the characteristic yellowish-brownish color, achieved by aging the drink in oak barrels without further filtration.
The aging period of the youngest spirits that make up this type of alcohol, as a rule, ranges from one and a half to three years.
To give the color of the drink more saturated shades, it is allowed to add caramel or molasses to it. In addition, its taste is often enriched by the addition of spices and fruit essences.

Bakardi gold rom
Bacardi Gold Rum (or Bacardi Carta Oro) is a popular highly purified blend produced in the distilleries of the famous supergiant of the alcohol industry, Bacardi.
The spirits included in its composition are aged in barrels specially charred from the inside, produced exclusively from white American oak.
At the same time, the age of the youngest spirits reaches two years, while the oldest of them can boast of six years of aging.
This amber 40-degree drink has a very complex harmonious flavor bouquet, which includes nutty, vanilla and oak notes, set off by a hint of plum and apricot. The charm of this Bacardi creation is successfully complemented by a complex aroma containing vanilla, molasses and oak shades.
Golden Rum Captain Morgan
Under this name, a spicy rum elixir is known in the post-Soviet space: Captain Morgan Spiced Gold, owned by another alcoholic supergiant, the English corporation Diaggio.
This pleasant spicy drink, whose color resembles the shine of ancient doubloons, and the strength ranges between 35 and 37,5 degrees, is made on the basis of a two-year-old rum aged in oak bourbon barrels.
Captain’s rum gold, not devoid of sophistication, has a unique taste and peculiar aroma.
In the first one, in addition to warm notes of tropical spices, you can easily guess the aftertaste of dried fruits, chocolate and brown sugar, as well as a slight oaky echo.
In the second – spicy, honey and fruit motifs prevail.
Rum Barcelo Dorado golden
Rum Barcelo Dorado – This drink comes from the Dominican Republic. In view of the relatively low strength (37,5 degrees), it should also be attributed to rum elixirs.
Like Captain Morgan, it is aged in American bourbon barrels.
However, unlike the namesake of the famous English pirate, its aging period does not exceed one and a half years.
A well-balanced fruity-woody taste of the drink makes it an ideal component for various kinds of cocktails. Actually, according to the manufacturers, Barcelo Dorado was created for this very purpose.
Rum Caribbean Ronrico Gold
Ronrico Gold Caribbean Rum – “adult” 40-degree drink of Puerto Rican origin.
Made from molasses and aged in oak barrels for only a year.
Accordingly, it does not pretend to anything, except for adding to mixes and cocktails. It goes especially well with fruit juices.
Rum Tobacco Gold
Rum Tobacco Gold – A 40% cane distillate produced on the island of Guadeloupe and bottled in Spain.
It has a fruity-oak taste with pronounced notes of tannin.
Fans of the mentioned flavor bouquet recommend using it in its pure form, but this is a matter of personal preference.
