Tiki Lovers Rum White

A blended rum that includes pot still from Jamaika’s Monymusk and Worthy Park distilleries, plus 5 year old pot still rum from Trinidad, filtered to remove all color. Clearly pot still from the nose, with its intense hogo character balanced lots of fruit — lemon, coconut, and some spice. Let it settle down and some of the funkier elements mellow, letting this rum showcase its depth.

That’s particularly evident on the palate, which sees big tropical notes, heavy on the coconut, with some petrol and a little more lemon thrown in in time for the finish. It’s a real surprise that a somewhat gimmicky bottle offers such a degree of flavor and intensity — yet should prove quite versatile in rum-forward cocktails.
