Answers.Body: <p>My choice for a light rum with a strong flavor is <a href="https://www.leblon.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Leblon</a>. It is made from fresh cut sugarcane unlike Bacardi (which is made from molasses), and is only aged for 6 months so you don't get any notes from the barrel.</p>
  
  <p>But more importantly, it's reasonably priced (~$23 for 750ml) and widely available throughout the US. You'll often see it at bars for those not wanting the well rum or Bacardi.</p>

Body: <p>I am looking for the brand of <em>light</em> rum that has the stongest rum flavor. I emphasize light because what I am looking for is distinctive rum flavor, not the flavor of the barrel in which it was aged. I normally use Bacardi light, but to me, its flavors are too weak. Any recommendations?</p>

  I am looking for the brand of *light* rum that has the stongest rum flavor. I emphasize light because what I am looking for is distinctive rum flavor, not the flavor of the barrel in which it was aged. I normally use Bacardi light, but to me, its flavors are too weak. Any recommendations?

  My choice for a light rum with a strong flavor is [Leblon](https://www.leblon.com/). It is made from fresh cut sugarcane unlike Bacardi (which is made from molasses), and is only aged for 6 months so you don't get any notes from the barrel.
  
  But more importantly, it's reasonably priced (~$23 for 750ml) and widely available throughout the US. You'll often see it at bars for those not wanting the well rum or Bacardi.
