In short
Rum CO2 extract is a carbon-dioxide extract of rum, sold by MANE as Rum Pure Jungle Essence. It captures the drink from its alcoholic top notes to a scorched-sugar drydown.
What Rum CO2 Extract smells like
Fraterworks describes MANE's Rum Pure Jungle Essence as encapsulating the purest aspects of an entire cask of rum, from the most volatile alcoholic top notes to the nuanced drydown of scorched sugar, and suggests it for piña colada bases and any scent needing a novel liquor character. Agoratopia's note glossary describes a boozy, aged-rum note, warm, sweet and slightly spicy, with caramel, dried fruit, dark molasses and oak-like woody undertones, opening with a sharp alcoholic brightness before settling into a smoother balsamic warmth.

Typical role: modifier (used in small amounts to change the character of a blend).
How Rum CO2 Extract differs from similar materials
- Rum Ether
- Rum ether is a single synthetic material, sharp, smoky and acidic; rum CO2 is the natural extract of a whole cask, from alcoholic top notes to scorched sugar.
Each difference compares the published descriptions of the two materials. Smell varies with grade, supplier and dilution; compare them side by side on blotters before substituting one for another.
Formulation considerations
Extremely strong, so often used diluted. No CAS number specific to the extract was confirmed.
