A new type of white rum is entering the marketplace. Using a combination of aging and filtering to remove the harsh bite associated with typical white rums, these rums are soft on the palate and long on finish. Allow me to introduce Ron Matusalem Platino, a rum which is, according to the Matusalem website, a blend of unique triple distilled rums, joined in a special process, filtered and refined to achieve a clean taste and subtle flavour.
