Arhumatic Passiflora Edulis
Arhumatic Passiflora Edulis is the brand's most popular maceration: a 29% ABV (58 proof), 700mL French rhum arrangé combining passion fruit with the warmth of Tahitian vanilla bean on a backbone of rhum agricole from Guadeloupe. Whole passion fruit — translucent yellow-orange pulp, black seeds, and a vanilla pod coated in seeds — steeps visibly in the bottle, a complete sensory experience the house calls its most beloved arrangement. Available year-round. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

The Tropics in a Bottle
No fruit evokes the tropics like passion fruit — the fruit of one of nature's most visually stunning flowers — and Arhumatic's take is the definitive one: rigorously selected fruit from Réunion, Thailand, and Vietnam, steeped whole with Tahitian vanilla bean in Guadeloupe agricole. The bottle itself is the show — pulp dispersed through the liquid, black seeds settled and clinging to the vanilla pod. Reviewers found it quite sweet, with a rounded passion-fruit-syrup character, brewed-tea notes, and heavy honey on the finish. See all Arhumatic expressions and more rum at Del Mesa.
Tasting Notes
Nose: powerfully exotic — passion fruit pulp and freshly cut fruit husk. Palate: tangy, sweet, aromatic pulp and seeds up front, Tahitian vanilla warmth underneath, brewed black-tea and honey notes building. Finish: sweet and lingering, with a cloying-leaning honeyed edge that invites mixing.
How to Enjoy
Serve chilled — neat for the full tropical blast, over ice, or topped with sparkling wine for an effortless exotic spritz. Its sweetness also makes it a natural cocktail modifier; try it in place of liqueur in a tropical sour.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does "Passiflora Edulis" mean?
The botanical name of the passion fruit vine — literally "edible passionflower."
Is the fruit really in the bottle?
Yes — whole passion fruit steeps in the rum: you'll see the translucent pulp, black seeds, and the vanilla pod right through the glass.
Is it available year-round?
Yes — unlike Arhumatic's seasonal releases, exotic fruit availability isn't seasonal, so Passiflora Edulis is a permanent part of the range.
