The Three Craft Rum Methods of Helios Distillery
■ Traditional Method
A method of making rum using molasses, a byproduct removed during the production of sugar from sugarcane. It is characterized by a rich, full-bodied taste and a fragrant sweetness.
■ Agricole Method
A method of making rum using 100% fresh sugarcane juice, extracted directly from the sugarcane. It offers fresh, grassy aromas and the distinctive flavor of sugarcane in its natural form.
■Brown Sugar Method
A production method in which brown sugar is dissolved and then fermented as the main ingredient. This process creates a smooth sweetness, rich body, and the distinctive depth of flavor characteristic of brown sugar.
Aging and Flavor Profiles
| Type | Barrel Aging | Color | Characteristics |

| White Rum | Not aged in barrels. Some varieties are filtered through activated carbon. | Clear and colorless | Light, crisp, and refreshing. |
| Gold Rum | Aged for approximately 3 years. | Golden to pale amber | Smooth and mellow, with a gentle sweetness. |
| Dark Rum | Aged for 3 years or longer. | Deep amber to dark brown | Deep, complex aromas and a rich, full-bodied flavor |
※ In Gold and Dark rums, compounds from the wood of the barrels infuse into the spirit, creating greater depth and complexity in both aroma and color.
