Here’s a value leader in the category that delivers sugarcane purity and easy cocktail ability. It purports to “bring back the forgotten spirit of Indonesian Rum” and while I have no regional reference point, it’s an excellent blend assembled in the Netherlands. There’s a note of pineapple character that will lend itself well to your tiki concoctions, and a proper rum funkiness rounds out the mix. Add in the slightly lower than normal ABV and you’ve got a fine rum that will allow for extended revelry. Well done!
