Frequently Asked Questions About Rum
What is the difference between agricole and traditional rum?
Traditional rum is distilled from molasses, a byproduct of sugar production. Rhum agricole is distilled from fresh sugarcane juice, giving it a grassy, more herbaceous character. Agricole production is most common in the French Caribbean islands.
What aged rums are available in North Carolina?
Dorado Rock represents producers offering rums aged from 3 to 25+ years, including single estate and single vintage releases. These are available through NC ABC stores via special order.
Is rum only for tropical cocktails?
Not at all. While rum is a cocktail staple, premium aged rums rival fine whiskey and cognac as sipping spirits. Many rum enthusiasts enjoy aged expressions neat or with a single ice cube to appreciate the complexity.
