Tasting three funky Caribbean rums from Denizen Rum. cocktails rum tiki daiquiri maitai tikidrinks
Among rum producers, Denizen is a bit unusual, a company apart from others. An American company, it doesn’t distill its own rums, but sources them from wildly differing distillers around the Caribbean, and then blends them in the Netherlands, where rum has historic roots dating back to the golden age of Caribbean exploration and piracy. This oddly distanced business model makes the company almost more of a rum, more than a traditional distillery.
As I came to realize in the course of tasting, each of these three releases is being sourced from very different locales, and represent intensely disparate styles.Denizen Aged White Rum is one of those bottles I’ve seen in liquor stores for years, but always sort of passed over. Granted, I’ve never been much of a white rum buyer, but after our recentunder $15, I have a much greater understanding of the pleasures and pitfalls of the style.
On the nose, Denizen Aged White rum contains hints of vanilla, marshmallow and coconut, with sawdust woodiness, grassiness and a hint of pineapple. It smells considerably more tame than entries we tasted in the $15 and under blind tasting, as if all its rough edges have been sanded and smoothed away.
This bottle is a particularly complicated blend of rums from Guyana and Martinique, which breaks down as follows. A small portion is 2-5 year old aged rum from Guyana, aged in the traditional way, in ex-bourbon barrels. This aged spirit is mixed with larger portions of unaged rum from wooden pot stills in Guyana, some of which is “dark unaged pot still rum”—which means itartificially colored and flavored, as there would be no other way for an unaged spirit to be “dark.
