National Rum Day FAQs
What is the difference between light, dark, and golden rum?
The difference between the shades of rum depends entirely on the aging process. Light rums are aged very little, if at all. Dark rums are aged from 5-10 years depending on the climate. Golden rum is aged longer than light rums but not nearly as long as dark rums.
Does rum have a lot of sugar?
Though it is derived from a sugar byproduct, premium rums have no more sugar once distilled than other liquors.
What is the best liquor to have in the summer?
While nearly any “cold one” is worth having when it’s sweltering outside, hands down the best summer cocktails are made with rum. In fact, in a nationwide survey, 26% of Americans said rum drinks were the best when it was hot out.
August 16 is National Rum Day. National Today and our friends at Goslings Rum want to take the opportunity to celebrate one of our favorite libations and share some interesting facts about the history and culture surrounding this historic spirit. Rum has been a staple of the economy of the Americas from nearly its founding and remains one of the most versatile liquors available today. Traditionally found in light or dark varieties, rum has found its way into many alluring and inventive cocktails, punches, and mixed drinks, most notably the Goslings Dark ‘n Stormy®.
The Gosling family of rum makers have been supplying the world with this storied beverage since 1806, aging and blending every drop on their home island of Bermuda. Their Black Seal rum — which they’ve been producing since the 1850s — is the gold standard for dark rums having been awarded the Gold Award three straight years at the International Rum Festival. Goslings proudly sponsors National Rum Day to spread the word about the rich history and taste of this historic spirit.
