Alta Gama Rum

In a world of sweet rum brands, Alta Gama asks an uncomfortable question: how much sugar is actually in your rum? Alta Gama was one of the first brands to declare its sugar content on the label, using the same scale Champagne uses to measure sweetness. This is honesty as marketing - and it works.

About Alta Gama Rum

Alta Gama Rum is built on four Guyana bottlings that all share the same base rum blend but differ in the amount of added sugar. For the newcomer it's a clear way to understand how sugar affects the taste of rum; for the connoisseur, Alta Gama is an important statement in the debate over hidden sugar addition in the rum industry, where many brands have traditionally left sugar content off the label.

History & Background

Alta Gama was founded with a clear goal of honesty and transparency in a rum industry where sugar addition has historically been an under-discussed subject. By releasing four variants of the same Guyana rum blend, each with a different level of added sugar, and declaring the content using the same classification Champagne uses - from Brut Nature to Doux - the brand set out to educate consumers rather than hide the details. The approach has made Alta Gama a reference point for the growing group of rum enthusiasts demanding more transparency from producers.

Production & Style

Alta Gama is distilled and aged using traditional Dominican methods, with a focus on a round, approachable flavour profile suited to both sipping and cocktails.

Signature Style

Full-Bodied, Sweet, Round
The taste offers a full-bodied, round character with typical Dominican sweetness and caramel notes.
