Gold Rum Delivery or Pickup

Gold rum, also known as Amber rum, is aged in wooden barrels. Gold rum has a light gold color and sweet, rich flavors. Flavors in a Gold rum vary depending on the wood used in the aging barrels. Prominent flavors include citrus, caramel, almond, vanilla, and coconut. Gold rums might be a blend of rums, an aged rum, or a rum blended with other spirits and gold-colored additives.

When choosing a Gold rum, older isn't necessarily better. Aging time varies with location. Rums age faster in the tropical climate of the Caribbean than in the temperate United States. A young Caribbean rum can have flavors comparable to a much older American rum.

Bottom-shelf Gold rums typically cost about $10. Bacardi Gold, Ron Rico Gold, and Fernandes 19 Gold are popular bottom-shelf gold rums. If you are looking for a mid-shelf rum, expect to spend between $20 and $30. Examples of mid-shelf rums include Plantation Rum Grand Reserve, Tortuga Gold, and Goslings Bermuda Gold. Premium or top-shelf rums cost between $30 and $100. Sea Wynde, Rum Barbancourt 15 Year, and Mount Gay Eclipse are well-known top-shelf Gold rum brands.

With its rich flavor profile, Gold rum is often enjoyed neat or on the rocks. To fully enjoy the flavors and aromas, sip your Gold rum at room temperature, never chilled. Gold rum is used in many rum-based cocktails, such as the Daiquiri, Piña Colada, and Barracuda. Gold rum has also become a popular ingredient in adult popsicles. These spiked frozen treats are perfect for hot summer days. When making a boozy popsicle, add 4 ounces of juice to every ounce of rum.

Gold rum pairs well with chicken, pork, and steak dishes. It also complements desserts made from chocolate and tropical fruit. Gold rum also adds its distinct tropical flavors to caramels, sauces, and baked goods.
