Starr rum

[Evangelos]

Anyone have any opinion of this rum? Is it an aged rum or a white/light rum?

All I know is that it's made in Africa and has a pretty nice looking bottle.

Actually African Starr rum is made in Mauritius, but the bottle comes from South Africa. It is a molasses based rum which has been aged. It mixes well and has a smooth quality from the aging.

Is it a sippable rum? How does it to compare to RZ 23?

[Ed Hamilton]

The white Starr is a very different rum compared to Ron Zacapa which is a dark rum. I don't necessarily sip it but have drunk with a little ice.

That's a little like comparing white and red wine.

I didn't realize it was a white rum. The "funky" red bottle hides the color in photographs. Thanks though.
