Molasses Rum

Molasses rums make up the vast majority of the world's rum production and are captivating for their roundness and aromatic richness. Made from molasses—a natural byproduct of cane sugar production—these rums are produced in many regions: the English and Spanish Caribbean, Latin America, the Indian Ocean, and beyond. Depending on the fermentation time and the distillation method (column or pot still), molasses rums can offer a wide variety of profiles: from light and smooth rums perfect for cocktails to powerful and complex, ester-rich vintages emblematic of Jamaica or Barbados. Aged in oak barrels, they develop gourmet notes of vanilla, caramel, dried fruits, and spices, with a silky, accessible texture that appeals to both amateurs and connoisseurs. Essential in mixology—from Daiquiri to Mai Tai—molasses rums also find their place in pure tasting in their aged and premium versions. Discover our selection of carefully chosen molasses rums, from must-haves to limited editions, to explore the diversity and depth of this historic and essential style in the world of rum.
