Gold rum, also known as amber rum, is a type of aged rum that is stored in barrels and is typically aged for a few years. It has a distinctive amber hue and a sweeter, richer flavor than its younger counterparts. The duration of the aging process can vary, but it is generally longer than white rum and less than dark rum. Gold rum is produced in most rum-making regions by a number of producers. The aging process gives the rum its signature color and flavor, and it is often used in cocktails that require a more complex flavor profile. Gold rum is also versatile and can be used in baking or cooking to complement other flavors in a dish.
