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
"Thick, heavy and well-settled, the heavy brown sugars sleep atop a bed of boot strap molasses and dark stone fruits. Wood notes also found on the nose become more pronounced on the palate, turning to a tart, green herbal spring.The finish is of average length and stretches through the mouth with its herbal freshness, turning woody and resinous towards the end."
