The story

The story behind Caribaya

Caribaya is Barbados rum, made from molasses and run through a column still, which is why it comes out light and clean rather than heavy and funky. The island does the rest: tropical heat pushes oak barrel maturation faster than any European cellar ever could. Sazerac bought the brand from Star Industries and Black Prince Distillery in January 2019 and kept it where it belongs, on the value shelf.

We have poured it for years. It is the bottle you keep for batching, for the well, for the party where nobody is counting. No medals to brag about, no founder myth to sell you. Just honest Caribbean rum at a price that lets you pour generously.

Buying guidance

Which Caribaya is right for you?

Caribaya pricing is the whole argument. The Light Rum 1L runs $11.99, and the 375mL is $4.99 when we have it. Gold Rum 1L is $10.99, the Gold 1.75L handle is $17.99, Spiced Rum 1L is $12.99, and the Light 1.75L is $18.99. Caribaya 151 1L is $18.99. Compare that to anything else on the rum shelf and the math does itself. Stock moves, so call ahead on the handles.

Caribaya cocktails and pairings

Caribaya wants casual Caribbean food, not a tasting menu. Keep the food salty, charred and a little sweet and the rum does its job.
Good to know

Caribaya questions, answered

Is Caribaya rum from Barbados?
Yes. Caribaya is distilled in Barbados from molasses using column distillation, then bottled and distributed in the United States. The tropical climate speeds oak barrel maturation, which is part of why the gold expressions show color and soft oak at this price.
Who owns Caribaya rum?
The Sazerac Company owns Caribaya. Sazerac purchased the brand from Star Industries and Black Prince Distillery in January 2019. Earlier founding dates and original founders are not reliably documented, so we do not repeat them here.
What proof is Caribaya 151 rum?
Caribaya 151 is 151 proof, or 75.5 percent alcohol by volume. That is high enough that it belongs in a float or a flaming drink, not a glass on its own. Dilute it considerably before you drink it.
How do you drink Caribaya white rum?
Use Caribaya Light as a mixing rum. It is column distilled and light bodied, so it works in a daiquiri, a mojito or a batch of punch without fighting the other ingredients. Serve it cold and keep the ratios simple.
