Tasting: Tiki Lovers Rums (white, dark, pineapple rums), a lineup designed specifically for tropical cocktails. rum tiki summer
line of cocktail bitters and liqueurs. Each of the three entries—white rum, dark rum, pineapple rum—is a blend of distillates from around the Caribbean and South America , and all are geared for classic tiki cocktails. As you would expect, they includeRight off the bat, the company does a few things I appreciate. For one, their website and product descriptions are up front about much of their sourcing, at least implying the source of most of their spirits.
The core white rum of the Tiki Lovers lineup is a blend of unaged, high-ester Jamaican rum from Monymusk and Worthy Park, combined with aged Trinidadian rum and unaged Trinidadian column still rum. The aged rums in the blend have been filtered to strip them of color, but this one retains explosive flavors nonetheless. It’s bottled at a substantial 50% ABV .
After tasting this lineup, it seems clear to me that the Tiki Lovers white rum is most certainly the unheralded star of the show. The “white” rum in any lineup is always going to be the most likely to be overlooked, but here it’s the company’s ace in the hole. It’s explosive on both the nose and the palate, with big notes of fresh grass and the earthy Jamaican funk known as.
This is certainly far more wild and earthy than most people would likely expect from a friendly label with a name like Tiki Lovers, and certainly speaks to the owners’ taste in funkier rums—it’s almost like a white rhum agricole, albeit with more sweetness. Indeed, this might present as a bit too sweet for some palates, but it still drinks fairly easily. I have no doubts that this one will make for an intensely flavorful daiquiri in particular.
All I can say is that if your knowledge of “white” rum starts and stops with Bacardi, something like this is likely to vastly expand your consciousness.One gets the sense that this product lineup was particularly designed with the average home consumer in mind rather than the rum geeks, which leads to the use of the generic “dark rum” name rather than simply a blend of various aged rums in this expression.
