rum

Rum notes in specialty coffee present as rich, warm, and slightly sweet characteristics with hints of caramel, molasses, and oak. This flavor is commonly found in coffees from Caribbean origins, Indonesian naturals, and those processed with extended fermentation or honey processing methods. The rum-like quality often develops through controlled fermentation during processing, creating complex alcohol-adjacent compounds that evoke aged spirits.
