White, silver, or light rum are all used to describe a colorless type of rum that is often mistakenly thought to be un-aged. However, since rum is produced in numerous countries, the regulations are not clear-cut, and this type can be briefly aged.
It is then charcoal-filtered to attain its clear, colorless appearance. White rum is typically light-bodied and milder than other varieties. Because of its light character, this type is especially suitable for cocktails and mixed drinks, but premium styles can also be enjoyed neat.
