Rum is a product of true distilling craftsmanship, a drink with a rich history, steeped in the aromas of the tropics and maritime adventures. Once the drink of choice for pirates and sailors, today it has become a symbol of sophisticated evenings and the foundation for the world’s most famous cocktails. At the Benket online shop, we have put together a collection that proves rum can be incredibly versatile. Explore all its facets with us!
Rum is made from sugar cane, or more precisely, from its by-products (molasses) or fresh juice. It originates from the Caribbean islands, where the hot sun and humid climate create ideal conditions for the rapid fermentation of alcohols. The main feature of rum is that it is not subject to strict global production regulations, unlike other spirits such as cognac or whisky. This gives master distillers the freedom to be creative, and offers us that very stunning range of flavour profiles.
To choose and buy the right rum, you need to understand how the production method and ageing time affect its character. Our catalogue covers all the key categories:
Of course, in the world of rum, there is no such thing as ‘the best’ — it all depends on your mood, the occasion and your personal preferences. Each of these varieties is good in its own way: one will be the life and soul of a lively party, whilst another is the perfect companion for a quiet evening.
At Benket, we’ll help you buy exactly the right one to hit the mark. The main principles for choosing are as follows:
We’ve made sure your choice is an informed one, and that the buying process is easy and enjoyable. At Benket, you’ll have no trouble finding a drink that perfectly suits your mood and budget.
The way rum is enjoyed depends largely on its type and character. For example, dark and aged rum is best savoured neat — it is served in thick-bottomed glasses, sometimes with a splash of water or a single large ice cube to bring out its aroma and flavour more gently. White and golden rum are more commonly used in cocktails: they pair perfectly with lime, pineapple or orange juice, cola and soda. Don’t forget about food pairings either — rum complements seafood, roasted meat, exotic fruits and dark chocolate beautifully, making the drink’s flavour even more distinctive.
