Puerto Rican Gold Rum

Puerto Rican gold rum is an amber-colored distilled spirit made from molasses and produced in Puerto Rico. Lightly aged in oak, it shows a soft vanilla-toffee note; common in highballs, sours, and tiki-style drinks, and handy for flambeing fruit or baking rum cakes. Typically bottled at 40% ABV and sold as amber, gold, or dorado styles.\n\nPuerto Rican rum grew from Caribbean sugarcane and evolved into a light, column-still tradition with legally required aging that creates both clear blanco and amber dorado expressions. Gold rum from the island features across Caribbean and American bar culture and in home baking, with producers maturing in used oak and blending for consistency.
