History

Dark rum developed in the British Caribbean islands, particularly Jamaica and Barbados, where longer aging in tropical climates creates intense flavors. The distinctive character comes from pot still distillation and aging in heavily charred barrels. Navy rum traditions influenced many classic styles.
