What is extra-aged rum?

Extra-aged rum is a high-end category of rum that has undergone an extensive aging process in oak barrels. This type of rum is characterized by its exceptional smoothness, complexity, and deep flavours. The term "extra-aged" indicates that it has been aged for a significantly long period, usually, more than 12 years, although some may have been aged for decades.

What is the difference between aged rum and extra-aged rum?

The main difference between aged rum and extra-aged rum lies in the aging time. While aged rum refers to a minimum aging period, extra-aged rum implies a long aging process that goes beyond the minimum requirements. This gives extra-aged rum greater complexity, smoothness, and more intense flavours than standard-aged rum.

How long does it take for rum to be considered extra-aged?

There is no fixed time that determines when rum is considered extra-aged, as it varies according to the regulations and practices of each producer. In general, however, extra-aged rum has been aged for at least 12 years, although many producers opt for longer periods, going as far as decades of aging to achieve even more complex and refined flavor profiles.

What is the best extra-aged rum?

Choosing the "best" extra-aged rum is subjective and depends on individual preferences. There are numerous brands and styles of extra-aged rum, each with their own unique characteristics. Some well-known brands include Zacapa XO Rum, Millonario XO Rum, Diplomático Ambassador Rum, Flor de Caña Centenario 25 Rum, and Appleton Estate Rum. We recommend exploring different options and trying different brands to find the extra-aged rum that you like best.

How should extra-aged rum be enjoyed?

Extra-aged rum is ideal to be enjoyed neat and unmixed, to fully appreciate its complexity and the subtle flavours obtained during its long aging process. It is recommended to serve it in a tasting glass at room temperature to capture all its nuances. Some people prefer to drink it slightly chilled or with an ice cube to bring out certain flavours. Extra-aged rum can also be a special ingredient in more elaborate cocktails.
