Unlike the whisky industry, where some brands add a natural caramel extract to the spirit, the caramel note in rum is generated from the first heat intensive stage of the processing. There are many variations of the delightful caramel aroma theme and the type of caramel aroma found in rum is just one of them.
The particular caramel note we present for rum in the Rum Aroma Kit has a soft, creamy, balsamic smooth character. Some may also detect a secondary note of smooth maple syrup.
See our Rum Aroma Kit for more information.
