San Diego Tiki, Pineapple Included
Bali Hai takes its name from the South Pacific daydream — and Cutwater, born in San Diego's brewing scene, built the line to be that daydream's house rum. The Tiki Gold is the flavored entry: pineapple and coconut layered over the distillery's smooth cane-sugar gold rum, designed for classic tropical cocktails rather than contemplative sipping. It is the bottle a Mai Tai was waiting for. See more from Cutwater Spirits or browse rum.
Tasting Notes
Pineapple-forward with coconut and vanilla over a smooth gold-rum base; a warm, silky palate of tropical fruit and cane sweetness; a clean, lingering finish — a mixer by design, smooth enough to sip.
How to Enjoy
Build tropical classics: a Mai Tai, a Piña Colada riff, or a simple pineapple-rum punch with lime and soda. Serve over ice with a pineapple wedge for the full tiki effect.
