In recent years, rum has been increasingly successful, in fact, this drink is used in many cocktails around the world and more and more people are consuming and enjoying it.

When choosing the ideal rum, the flavor is an aspect that must be taken into account, since balanced flavors indicate quality. By having a well-balanced sweet, bitter, salty and acid flavor, we can realize that it is a good rum, since none of these flavors predominates over the other.

To taste a good rum, we can visit big cities. The most famous rum bars in the world are located in London, Havana and Milan.

 Dan Buckland, who is the co-founder of Drum & Black Rum Co. says that consumers are becoming more adventurous with their beverage choices, and the more they explore, the more informed they become. They are looking for brands that define them as individuals, and the UK craft rum movement is showing more people that rum has the potential as the drink of choice. “Until now, spiced rums have been associated with lesser quality mixers. However, if crafted as a premium rum with an innovative flavor profile, spiced rum can become an affordable alternative for consumers with discerning tastes.” refined, as well as a new, exciting and luxurious drink for those exploring the world of rum.

Sales of golden and dark rum in pubs, bars and restaurants also increased, with golden rum being the most popular choice.

That is why on this occasion from The Rum Lab we want you to travel with us to discover the best Rum Bars in the wonderful city of London.
