From the House That Invented the Mai Tai
In 1934, Victor "Trader Vic" Bergeron came back from an island adventure full of rum and tiki culture, and went on to invent the original Mai Tai. The Trader Vic's rum line keeps that legacy mixing: this coconut bottling pairs a Barbados rum base with natural coconut flavor at a cocktail-friendly 21% ABV — tropical depth without blowing out the balance of the drink it's built for.

Tasting Notes
Fresh, natural coconut over a smooth Barbados rum base — sweet tropical fruit up front, a warm, smooth finish, and none of the artificial candy edge lesser coconut rums carry.
How to Enjoy
A tiki mixer first: a Piña Colada, a Coconut Daiquiri, or a Mai Tai variation where the coconut rides under the lime — or simply lengthened with pineapple juice over crushed ice.
