Two Stills, One Clear Rum
Most white rum comes off a single column. Cozumel builds its white as a blend of two distillations: cane-juice rum from a copper pot still, which keeps the fresh, grassy aguardiente character, and molasses rum from a single column, which brings the body — married with nothing added, no sugar and no additives in the brand's telling. It comes from the same small, story-driven house as the five-year Anejo — a founders' sailing misadventure on a Cozumel reef, recycled-glass handblown bottles, and the sugarcane lands of the old Mayan world. Build with it from our rum shelves and the cocktails collection, or visit the Cozumel Rum Company vendor page.
Tasting Notes
Nose: A light note of aguardiente — fresh cane character (brand notes). Palate: Harmonious and smooth, with fruity notes. Finish: Clean and light, the cane and fruit carrying off.
How to Enjoy
This is the house's cocktail rum: a Mojito where the cane-juice component actually tastes of cane, a Daiquiri with real structure, or a Cuba Libre that does not disappear under the cola.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Cozumel White different from a standard white rum? The blend. It combines copper-pot-distilled sugarcane-juice rum with single-column molasses rum, where most white rums are column-still only — the pot-still half is what gives it its aguardiente lift.
Does it have added sugar? No — the brand's copy states the rum is made with no sugar or additives added.
How is it different from the Cozumel Anejo? The Anejo is the golden, five-year American-oak-aged bottling for sipping; the White is the clear, cocktail-built expression of the same house and the same two-still blending idea.
