This no-nonsense, light white rum is the beating heart of all Takamaka rums. This is a column still molasses based rum distilled up to 94% and then diluted with pure island spring water to bottling strength. This light, tropical rum mixes well in classics such as Mojito, Cuba Libre, Daiquiri or Piña Colada and is best in company of good friends. Taste: A touch of high-ester pot still rum provides a soft, creamy character and natural aromatic undertones typical of this Indian Ocean island. Appearance: Clear / translucent. Aroma: Light and fresh — notes of fresh tropical fruits (think light pineapple, maybe a bit of green banana or citrus), subtle floral hints, with a mild grassy or sugar-cane freshness rather than heavy oak/wood.
