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.
