Light, Amber, and Dark Rum Differences

 

Located in Queens, New York, the Kew Motor Inn is known primarily for its exotic theme rooms, which include the New York Skyline Room, Safari Room, and Egyptian Room. Other amenities offered by the Kew Motor Inn include sauna rooms, flat-screen TVs with HBO, and a fully stocked restaurant and bar. Below are the characteristics of the different types of rum the hotel’s bar serves.

1. Often referred to as silver or white, light rum is light in color and sweet in flavor. It is best used as an ingredient in pina coladas, daiquiris, and mojitos.

2. Gold or amber rums are caramel in color. Because they are aged in oak, they produce a richer and more pronounced flavor and are best suited for rum punch or rum eggnog drinks.

3. Dark rum is produced when clear rum is aged in charred oak casks and is the main ingredient of a dark n’ stormy drink. Spiced rum, meanwhile, is flavored with different spices and does not qualify as a dark rum.
