White rum，also known as silver or 'light' rum，is a dry, light-bodied rum, pale in color，and sweet in flavor， with smooth， subtle hints of almond and vanilla. Unlike other darker rums that are aged in charred oak casks， white rum is simply aged in plain oak casks or stainless steel tanks，so that the color remains clear. White rum is often the favored choice for fruity rum-based mixed drinks.
