Rum distillers are stealing whiskey’s playbook to win over pickier drinkers
Rum producers are adopting whiskey's approach by highlighting single origins and aging to appeal to discerning drinkers ahead of National Rum Day on August 16.
Whiskey makers have long used age statements to suggest quality and justify higher costs, promoting patience as a key selling point.
Kōloa Rum Company bases its brand on using ingredients solely from one island to emphasize authenticity.
Ron del Barrilito from Puerto Rico uses a 146-year-old production method without artificial additives, further extending the age statement tradition.
