How to Choose Your White Rum for Every Occasion

Rum is a highly prized spirit around the world. It comes in various forms on the distillery market, with amber rum, white rum, and aged rum being the main distinctions. For practical reasons, each of these types of rum is used on specific occasions. White rum in particular is the most widely consumed and remains a staple in cocktails and ti’punch. If you want to choose the white rum that will transport your guests, your loved ones, and yourself to seventh heaven, here’s everything you need to know to make the ideal choice.

White rum: what is it, and how is it made?

Rum classified as white is a spirit made from fermented cane juice or molasses. Fermenting the cane or molasses produces a cane wine with an alcohol concentration of between 3.5% and 10%. The resulting solution then undergoes a distillation process, at the end of which the alcohol concentration and aromatic components increase.

Depending on the distillation process used (continuous, batch, pot still, single or multiple column), a distillate of 65 to 95° is obtained, which is then used to produce white rum. It must then be diluted with water in blending vats or mixing tanks to obtain a spirit with an ABV of between 40 and 60°. Bottling takes place after a resting period. While the resulting spirit can be used on many occasions, it’s important to know exactly when to use it so you don’t get it wrong.

For tasting: opt for premium white rum

White rum lends itself easily to tasting sessions. On these occasions, an exceptional bottle is needed to liven up the start of a dinner, an evening, a family meal, a gathering with friends, or an afternoon break. But you can also enjoy a premium white rum on its own before a meal, or simply to unwind.

White rum for cocktails and ti’punch 

Today, white rum is an essential ingredient for cocktails. To stay chic and elegant on these occasions, choose from the day’s spirits, generally sweet or fruity, such as the classic Daiquiri, the Mojito, or the Piña Colada. Hosting cocktails with white rum shows off your knowledge of spirit tasting. The same goes for ti’punch made with agricole rum bottled at a minimum of 50°. Well known among connoisseurs, this traditional drink will delight your guests and make your gatherings truly memorable.

Using white rum in cooking 

White rum opens up a world of possibilities for lovers of good food. Indeed, this spirit is known for the unique flavor it brings to a variety of dishes. It can be added to all kinds of sauces, flambéed crepes, pastries, and even bananas. But that’s not all.

This spirit also pairs well with foods like cheeses, desserts, oysters, and meats, enhancing their flavor. It gives them unique, captivating tastes when sampled. Whether your rum has notes of wood, vanilla, or spice, the pairing produces excellent results, perfect for accompanying your favorite dishes during a dinner with family or friends.

questions about the Loyalty Program

How does the loyalty program work?

Our loyalty program is designed to reward our regular customers. To be eligible, you must have a customer account and have made cumulative purchases totaling at least €300, regardless of how the orders are split. You don’t need to make a single €300 purchase — several orders can add up to reach this amount.

How are loyalty coupons calculated?

As soon as the cumulative amount of your orders reaches €300, you automatically receive a 5% discount on every product purchased. This discount is credited as loyalty coupons to your customer account, under “My Rewards.” For example, if you place a €100 order, a €5 loyalty coupon will be added to your account.

How do I use my loyalty coupons?

You can use your loyalty coupons on your next orders:

• You can use your loyalty balance to cover the full amount of your order if the balance is sufficient. • You can also deduct part of your order total based on the balance available in your account. Your loyalty coupon balance will be automatically applied at checkout, based on your choice. You can check your coupon balance at any time under “My Rewards” in your customer account.

How long are my loyalty coupons valid?

Loyalty coupons have a limited validity period. Be sure to use them before they expire — the expiration date is visible under “My Rewards” in your customer account.
