Pyrat Rum



Shiver me timbers! Ahoy Matey! Pyrat Rum is a special blended amber Rum from the West Indies. Smoky, orange-scented (Pyrat rum spends time in a cask once used to store orange liqueur) and best drunk straight! Who will walk the plank for a bottle 'o Pyrat Rum?


Rum is a spirit made from fermented sugar cane or its by-products, such as molasses. It is distilled in pot stills for small amounts, or column stills for modern large production runs.

Like vodka, rum is clear when distilled; however most rums are aged before being bottled. Premium rums are aged in oak barrels, especially those previously used for ageing whiskey.

Types of Rum

White Or Clear Rum
White rum is clear and mild of taste, often used for mixers and cocktails.

Gold Or Pale Rum
Ageing rums become amber in hue, taking on some of the character and color of the barrel. Gold rums are aged longer and may have additives to preserve color.

Dark Rum
Dark rums are well aged and may have a caramel flavor.

Black Rum
These are the darkest and most flavored of rums. Barrels used to age black rum may be burnt or charred.

Navy Rum
After Britain took control of the West Indies, the Royal Navy provided Rum for sailors as Rum was found to last better in its barrel than wine or brandy.
