Myrtle Bank 10 Year Shannon Mus's Tiki Blend Jamaican Rum

The Roots of Tiki, in a Bottle

Myrtle Bank is named for the hotel built in the late 1800s that became the social epicenter of Kingston in the 1920s and 30s — its iconic Rum Punch inspired Donn the Beachcomber and Trader Vic's approach to rum drinks, the roots of what became tiki. Debuted in New York in April 2023, this bottling aims the full-flavored Jamaican pot-still tradition straight at the tiki canon, unadulterated and additive-free.

Tasting Notes

K&L: intense tropical fruits — pineapple and banana — in a powerful yet smooth package. Retailer consensus (Caskers, Flaviar): tropical fruit sweetness, ripe and velvety banana, oak, vanilla, and cocoa from the decade in ex-bourbon wood.

How to Enjoy

This is a tiki-builder's rum: a proper Mai Tai, a Jungle Bird, or a classic Rum Punch in the Myrtle Bank hotel tradition. It has the proof and funk to stand up to citrus and spice.
