Dark RumAKA Black Rum. Usually aged (but not always) and has additional caramel-coloring added to provide the dark/black color. Some are distilled from blackstrap molasses. No specific type or size barrel required for aging nor is there a set time required for aging in most countries with a few exceptions.

Tasting Notes
"Demerara sugars, pencil shavings, burnt caramel and sweet jammy fruitiness roll on the nose. The high alcohol adds a punched up spicy heat, but the palate is rough and a lot drier than the nose suggests. The fruitiness puckers and the spice flips to a molasses bitterness. This rum works best for mixing where this bitterness could boost a drink and the high alcohol content pulls the rum forward."
