The ice cream itself is a blend of Kraken Black Spiced Rum with cherries and chocolate. The result is a boozy, sweet, chocolatey, spiced ice cream for the cold autumn days ahead.

Unlock the secrets of dark rum: What it is, how it’s made, and how to enjoy it

How is dark rum made and how should you drink it?

Rum

The alcohol world (especially hard alcohol) is extremely complicated and can sometimes seem a bit overwhelming. I absolutely get it. I’ve been writing about whiskey, vodka, tequila, gin, rum, and other forms of alcohol for almost twenty years, and I still learn new information about distilling, aging, and other liquor-related techniques and facts every single day. That said, today is a good time to learn a little about not only one specific type of alcohol but a subset of said type of alcohol. Today is all about unlocking the secrets of dark rum. What it is, how it’s made, and of course, how to enjoy it. Keep scrolling as we dive into the caramel-colored, multi-layered, complex, and exciting world of dark rum.
What is rum and how is it made?

Popular in the Caribbea, but made in all corners of the globe, rum is a distilled spirit made from fermented sugarcane juice or sugarcane molasses. First, the sugarcane is harvested. It’s then crushed to extract sugarcane juice. Yeast and water are mixed with the juice which creates a chemical reaction where yeast and the sugars create ethanol and carbon dioxide. The liquid is then distilled and bottled immediately, aged in wood barrels for weeks, months, or years, and/or blended with other rums.

Stop believing these common rum myths — here’s what’s really true

It's time to debunk the biggest rum myths

Rum barrel

I’ve been lucky enough to write about alcohol for the last two decades. In those years, I’ve learned a lot about whiskey, gin, tequila, rum, and other commons types of hard liquor. But every now and then, I was told a fact only to find out later that it simply wasn’t true. One of the spirits that I heard the most myths about was rum.

It’s no surprise that rum is ripe with myths. This sugarcane and molasses-based spirit has been produced since the 1600s on sugarcane plantations in the Caribbean. That’s a lot of centuries for stories and legends to be born. But this isn’t a time for folklore, we’re looking for facts today. That’s why we turned to a few experts to help us debunk some of the biggest rum myths.
