Aged rum Also referred to as golden rum, amber rum, or añejo rum (meaning “aged”). Aging gives it a complex flavor, more like a Cognac. It has undertones of vanilla, coconut, almond, citrus, or caramel. Dark rum is also aged; it has a dark color and a rich, developed flavor with caramel, brown sugar, and vanilla notes. Light rum or white rum is clear and has a smoother, more straightforward flavor than dark rum.
