Ten to One Caribbean White Rum

Ten to One Caribbean White is a blended white rum drawing on multiple Caribbean distilleries, combining pot and column still molasses spirit and bottling it unaged at a useful 45% without added sugar. The brand pitches itself at drinkers who want a white rum with more character and structure than the usual neutral mixer.

The nose is pleasant and light with ripe tropical fruit, pineapple and banana lifted by a floral note, and the palate keeps that brightness with pineapple, coconut and a touch of ginger before a finish carrying maple and returning pineapple. The pot still share gives it a faint funk and enough body to stand up in a drink, and at 45% it holds its shape in a daiquiri while staying clean and approachable. Unsweetened and fruit-forward, it is built first as a quality cocktail rum, though it has enough going on to sip lightly chilled.
