Thanks for the help. Isn't the Extra considered a dark rum, though? Caveat: I am no expert.....IIRC, gold vs dark rums are a matter of the type of casks that they are aged in. Dark rums are aged in charred oak. Appleton's website doesn't say much. Some folks call it a dark rum and others a darker gold (boy, that's a lot of help). Some will use it in recipes that call for a dark Jamaican. I won't (unless a mai tai). Confused yet? What are you mixing up?
