Bounty White Rum

Bounty Premium White is a two-year-old rum that happens to be clear — and that makes all the difference. St. Lucia Distillers, the Roseau Valley house formed in 1972 when the island's two surviving distilleries merged, makes it from molasses fermented roughly 36 hours in open tanks and distilled on the Coffey column still, then ages it two years in ex-bourbon casks before filtering the color back out. The result keeps the roundness and soft wood complexity of the barrel while staying crystal clear, bottled at 40% ABV. RumRatings tasters who visited the distillery found a fresh, fruity nose with citrus, then a round, smooth, complex, and balanced palate with light sweetness and woodiness — one called it a very good example of the style, ripe with fruity esters but never overpowering, with the St. Lucian signature touch of coconut and full-bodied creaminess, and an excellent white — not light — rum for the price. Bounty is "The Spirit of Saint Lucia," the island's best-selling rum and the entry level of a distillery that also makes Chairman's Reserve and Admiral Rodney. This is the White to reach for when a daiquiri, mojito, or tiki drink calls for a rum that adds body and flavor rather than just alcohol. Clean, silky, and ideal for mixing — with a lot more going on than the neutral column whites it shares a shelf with.
