Frequently asked questions about rum

Where can I buy rum in Utrecht?

At Daan’s Drinks on the Vismarkt 2, right by the Dom Tower. We stock rum from Jamaica, Barbados, Guyana, Martinique, Latin America and Asia, from everyday mixing rums to rare aged bottles. Order online and collect with Click & Collect, or come in and ask us for advice.

Which rum should I buy for cocktails?

For a Mojito or Daiquiri, a light rum like Planteray Three Stars works well. For a Dark ’n Stormy, Goslings Black Seal is the classic. Wray & Nephew Overproof adds punch to tiki drinks, and John D. Taylor’s Velvet Falernum is the lime-and-clove liqueur many of them call for.

What is the difference between rum and rhum agricole?

Most rum is distilled from molasses. Rhum agricole, from Martinique and other French islands, is made from fresh sugarcane juice, which gives it a grassier, fresher character. Try Saint James or Rhum Clément to taste the difference.

Which rum is good for sipping or as a gift?

Aged rums such as Santa Teresa 1796, El Dorado 12 Year or Clément 10 Ans are smooth enough to sip neat. For something special, ask about rare bottles like The Royal Cane Long Pond 24 Years. We’re happy to gift-wrap it.

Can I taste rum before I buy?

Yes. In the shop, if we have a bottle open, we’re happy to let you taste before you choose, and at our tastings you can try several styles side by side.
