What is Rum Made From?

Rum is made by fermenting and distilling sugarcane molasses or sugar cane juice. The distilled liquid, clear at this point, is then aged in oak barrels for at least one year, during which it develops its recognizable caramel color.

Rum is often consumed like whisky, either with ice or mixed with cola. It is also a key ingredient in many popular cocktails, including Piña Colada, Daiquiri, Mai Tai, and Mojito.

How Many Calories are in a Shot of Rum?

If the rum has an ABV of 40%, there are approximately 61 calories in a single 25ml shot of rum.

What Types of Rums are There?

There are light, spiced, dark, and aged rums.

If you follow a vegan diet, don’t worry; nearly all rums are suitable for vegans. The main exceptions would be if the rum contains honey, which is usually easy to spot on the label.

How Do You Store Rum?

Whether opened or unopened, rum should be stored in a tightly sealed bottle in a cool, dry place away from any radiators or direct sunlight. If the bottle is less than half full and you don’t plan to drink it for a few weeks, we recommend pouring the rum into a smaller bottle. This is because rum reacts with oxygen, so the more space there is in the bottle, the quicker the rum will deteriorate in taste.

If unopened, rum will retain its quality and flavor. When opened, rum can be stored for years without going bad, unless it is kept unsealed next to a heat source. However, even if tightly sealed, we recommend finishing the bottle within 2 years of opening, as the taste and quality will slowly start to change.
