Banter White Rum
Banter White Rum is the unaged white rum from Banter, the brand created by Maggie Campbell — the master distiller behind Privateer's acclaimed rums — and bottled as a blend of pot still and column still rums from Jamaica and the Dominican Republic. Campbell blends rums made from both molasses and cane juice, and the house style is deliberate: dry, bright and crisp, with the structure and flavor definition she built her reputation on.

The Story
Banter is Maggie Campbell's own label, built on a simple idea: white rum should have as much to say as an aged rum. Rather than leaning on a single origin, Campbell brings together Jamaican pot still character and Dominican column still polish, blending molasses and cane juice rums into a white rum with real mid-palate weight and a clean, linear finish. It is the counterpart to Banter Amber Rum, and a good reminder of why Caribbean rum rewards blending.
Tasting Notes
Dry and bright on the nose with fresh cane and tropical fruit, the palate is crisp and focused — citrus, white pepper and a flicker of Jamaican funk — finishing clean and dry with no added sweetness to hide behind.
