AGED RUM
Aged rum is primarily matured in oak casks, which are prized for the flavours they impart to the spirit. These casks are typically ex-bourbon casks, which are particularly common in the Caribbean rum industry. They contribute notes of vanilla, caramel, and spice.
CARIBBEAN DARK RUM
Caribbean Dark Rum is a full-bodied spirit with deep, rich flavours, often including molasses, spice, and oak. This type of rum is aged longer in heavily charred barrels, which imparts a darker colour and more intense flavour.
CARIBBEAN GOLD RUM
Caribbean Gold Rum, also known as amber rum, gets its colour and rich flavour from ageing in oak barrels. This medium-bodied rum is often characterised by notes of vanilla, caramel, and tropical fruits, resulting from the interaction between the spirit and the wood during the ageing process.
CARIBBEAN LIGHT WHITE
Caribbean Light White Rum is typically a clear, light-bodied spirit, often aged briefly and then filtered to remove any colour. This rum is known for its clean, crisp taste with subtle sweetness, making it an ideal base for cocktails like mojitos and daiquiris. It is typically produced using molasses and distilled in column stills, which gives it a smooth, approachable profile that is versatile for mixing.
JAMAICAN HIGH-ESTER RUM
Jamaican High-Ester Rum is famous for its ‘funky’ and intensely flavorful profile, which comes from a high concentration of esters developed during an extended fermentation process. This rum is known for its bold, fruity, and sometimes even medicinal notes, making it a favourite among rum enthusiasts looking for a complex and distinctive spirit. High-ester rums are often used in blending to add depth and character to other rums or enjoyed neat by those who appreciate their unique taste.
LIGHT WHITE RUM
Light White Rum is a versatile, clear spirit known for its clean, crisp flavour. It is typically aged for a brief period and then filtered to remove any colour. It may be sourced from other locations other than the Caribbean.
RUM CONCENTRATE/ RUM ESTERS
Rum Concentrate, also known as Rum Esters, is a highly concentrated form of rum used primarily as a flavouring agent in the production of other spirits and in the food industry. This product captures the essence of rum, providing an intense burst of flavour that can enhance the profile of various beverages and culinary creations.
SPICED RUM
Spiced Rum is infused with various spices and botanicals during the production process, adding layers of flavour that can include cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg, and clove.

What is rum?
Rum is one of the world’s most iconic spirits, produced predominantly across the Caribbean and Latin America. With deep roots in global trade and seafaring tradition, rum is believed to have been first distilled in the 1600’s, with the earliest known commercial distillery opening in Barbados in the 1650s.
Over the centuries, rum evolved from a sailor’s staple to a refined, diverse spirit celebrated for its complexity. Today, it spans a broad spectrum of styles, shaped by production methods, ageing techniques, and regional provenance.
Made from sugarcane derivatives such as molasses or fresh juice, rum’s flavour profile can vary dramatically depending on origin, fermentation, distillation, and maturation. That means whether you’re creating a signature blend, launching an RTD, or scaling an existing brand, there’s a rum to match your vision.
At Ethimex, we supply an extensive portfolio of bulk rums, including white, gold, dark, spiced, and high-ester varieties. All are sourced to meet quality standards and delivered at the scale you need.
