A delicious blend composed of aged and unaged Rums from the Caribbean, with the backbone of TIKI LOVERS White Rum coming from the lush and fragrant shores of Jamaica. Distilled at some of the island’s most famous distilleries, Monymusk and Worthy Park, with the heritage of rum-making dating back to the year of 1741. Jamaican Rum is world-renowned for its distinctive flavour and high quality, and was therefore our first choice when we were looking for saporous and tasty Rums that would lead the aroma structure of our blend. The chosen unaged rums are pot-still distilled and are heavy with esters, creating the impression of rich banana flavor and cooked fruits. The blending process, a fine art for centuries, includes rum, aged up to 5 years, from Trinidad’s most famous distillery. The rum is then stripped of color by charcoal filtration, but maintains its full flavour, intensified by the ageing time in black charred, old Bourbon barrels. In a final flourish, a crisp, fresh and crystal-clear column still rum from Trinidad is added, creating a premium white rum, at a sumptuous 50% Alc. Vol. with complex fruity and floral notes. Created in 2011, TIKI LOVERS White Rum secured the top position at Mixology Magazine’s Taste Forum, against leading products and brands in the white rum category. TIKI LOVERS White Rum is distinctive in drink classics like the Daiquiri, Rum & Cola, Pina Colada and other tropical thirst quenchers. Producer TIKI LOVERS is the Rum brand created by Stephan Berg and Alexander Hauck. Stephan and Alexander are also the founders of the highly successful worldwide brand THE BITTER TRUTH. While they had already branched out into the tropical category with liqueurs like Falernum and Pimento Dram, they had little interest in expanding the THE BITTER TRUTH portfolio into pouring spirits. During one of their many trips as ambassadors for their brand, Stephan and Alexander had an experience in a Tiki-themed bar, where the drinks - due to the chosen rums - tasted flat and in need of improvement. It was then the idea of creating a range of blended rums ideal for use in Tiki cocktails was born. Both Stephan and Alexander have great affection for rum, rum-based cocktails and Polynesian pop culture, and have therefore created the TIKI LOVERS range, choosing the best rums from the Caribbean for the ultimate taste experience. TIKI LOVERS Rums are inspired by the heritage of mixing tropical drinks and the Polynesian-Angloamerican mixed influences on art and literature. High quality, flavourful rums to truly improve famous tropical drinks like the Mai Tai, Daiquiri, Rum Punch etc. , with excellent, intense base spirits, but at sensible pouring costs. But not just for Tiki drinks or tropical cocktails, any rum-based drink will taste better with TIKI LOVERS Rum. Throughout Stephan’s earlier years as a seafarer, he traveled the tropics and experienced rum-making first hand in the Caribbean islands of Jamaica, Trinidad, Cuba and Barbados. It was there he learned about the heritage of rum-making, blending and drinking. Alexander, a designer, bartender and passionate Rum aficionado, was an early admirer of Polynesian pop art & culture - even more so after his first visit at the »Mai-Kai1/2 in Fort Lauderdale, a Tiki temple built in 1956 which is still in existence. It was there he - intoxicated by Polynesian dance performances and Tiki drinks - scribbled down his first ideas for the label of their new rum brand. All TIKI LOVERS Rums are all natural and at higher proof. Not only because this reduces pouring costs, but also because it improves the intensity, flavour and taste!
