What food goes well with rum?

The sweet, rich notes of rum work perfectly well with so many different flavours. Here is a quick guide to help you pair your next glass:

Comfort Food & Fried Classics: Rum goes incredibly well with Southern-style fried chicken, fish and chips, or a rich bowl of macaroni and cheese.

BBQ & Hearty Meats: Pouring a dark or spiced rum with sticky pork ribs or a good-quality steak can be an absolutely brilliant take.

Seafood & Grazing Boards: Match your drink with some fresh crab cakes or serve it with a simple cheese board.

Desserts: Rum and sweet treats are a foolproof combination. Finish the celebration by pairing your rum with a warm bread pudding or a classic baked butter cake. 

How long does an opened bottle of rum last?
Here's something most people don't know. Rum doesn't really go off once it's opened, the high alcohol content prevents it from spoiling. That said, once the bottle is open, air gets in and slowly starts to change the flavour over time. For the best taste, try to drink it within 6 to 12 months of opening. After that it won't be unsafe to drink but it just might taste a little flatter than it did when you first opened it. To keep it tasting its best, make sure the cap is screwed on tightly and store the bottle upright somewhere cool and dark away from direct sunlight.
