Rum was so popular in early colonial America that, by 1752, Rhode Island alone boasted 30 legitimate distilleries that made rum from the sugar imported from the islands.

Rum and cola (a Cuba libre) is a favorite combination as well as rum with nearly every other soft drink or juice, from the pedestrian orange to the exotic passion fruit.
True rum, which any son of Antigua or daughter of Jamaica will proudly attest, is an aged product, golden to dark amber in color, full of flavor and spice, more akin to Cognac and fine Scotch than to the white spirits, such as vodka and gin, to which it is often compared.
Color is not a good measure of either a rum's age or intensity of flavor, as it is often adjusted, even with the best rums, by adding a little caramel coloring, which is produced by burning sugar and has little to no effect on flavor.

The value of rum was based upon the lack of coinage among the population of the colony, and due to the drink's ability to allow its consumer to temporarily forget about the lack of creature comforts available in the new colony.
Due to rum's popularity among the settlers, the colony gained a reputation for drunkenness even though their alcohol consumption was less than levels commonly consumed in England at the time.

Still, many premium rums carry age statements on their labels of 12years or more, and under U.S. law, the stated age must be that of the youngest rum in a given blend.
Though the producers all agree that rum makes an excellent base for cocktails, most suggest that their premium brands be reserved for sipping on special occasions.
