What is “Black Strap” Rum?

“Black strap” is a name that is often given to dark, robust rums that are said to be made from thick, dark molasses. Molasses is a by-product of sugar production, the residue that is left after multiple boils of sugar cane juice. While most rums use molasses, there is no formal definition of “blackstrap rum”.

This style of dark rum is often characterised by intense, molasses-heavy flavours, typically with notes of treacle, toffee and sometimes a slight bitterness or smokiness. This is usually due to the addition of colouring or flavouring (such as caramel or molasses). Other examples of this style include Goslings Black Seal and Cruzan Black Strap.
