Pineapple, the Tiki Lovers Way
When Tiki Lovers followed its White and Dark expressions with a pineapple rum in 2015, founders Stephan Berg and Alexander Hauck of The Bitter Truth didn't take the shortcut — no syrupy liqueur base, no artificial flavor. The pineapple is a natural extract from pressed South American juice, infused into a serious four-country rum blend — Hampden and Worthy Park pot stills for funk, Foursquare for aged Barbados depth — then rested so the fruit and the rum marry. At 90 proof it drinks like a rum first and a flavored rum second.
Tasting Notes
Juicy, ripe pineapple up front — grilled and fresh at once — over the funky fruit of the Jamaican pot stills. The palate layers tropical sweetness with vanilla and light oak from the Foursquare component, finishing warm and clean at 90 proof with lingering pineapple.
How to Enjoy
The shortcut to a great Piña Colada or Painkiller — the pineapple is already in the bottle. It also lifts a simple rum-and-soda or a tropical highball, and at 90 proof it won't get buried by mixers.
