The Story
The Soggy Dollar Bar sits on the white sand of White Bay on Jost Van Dyke in the British Virgin Islands — with no dock, so sailors anchor offshore, swim in, and pay for their drinks with wet bills, which is how the bar got its name. In the 1970s it gave the world the original Painkiller, and its motto says the rest: "a sunny place for shady people." Soggy Dollar Rum bottles that bar — blends of aged Caribbean rums (including Puerto Rico and Trinidad) in a bottle embossed with the bar's palm-tree medallion, imported by Levecke Corp. of Mira Loma, California.
Tasting Notes
Per the brand: a vibrant spirit with notes of honey, vanilla, and oak spices over a smooth palate — the extra years in wood give it a depth and roundness the younger blends trade for brightness.
How to Enjoy
Neat or on a single large rock is where the aging shows; it also makes a top-shelf Painkiller and a superb rum Old Fashioned. The rest of the family: Soggy Dollar Gold Rum, Soggy Dollar Platinum Rum, and Soggy Dollar Island Spiced Rum.
