Cutwater Rum Bali Hai Tiki Gold

Cutwater Rum Bali Hai Tiki Gold: The Sunny Heart of Your Tropical Cocktail, Crafted in San Diego

Illuminate your palate with the vibrant and exceptionally smooth Cutwater Rum Bali Hai Tiki Gold. Meticulously crafted by the award-winning Cutwater Spirits in San Diego, this gold rum is distilled from pure cane sugar in a sophisticated hybrid pot-and-column still. Its golden hue and rich, balanced flavor profile are developed through aging, bringing forth delightful notes of vanilla, caramel, and tropical fruits. Some variations of this rum are also infused with natural pineapple and coconut flavors, enhancing its tropical essence. Perfect for crafting classic Tiki cocktails like the Mai Tai or Piña Colada, or simply enjoying mixed with your favorite tropical juices, Bali Hai Tiki Gold Rum delivers a smooth, golden finish that embodies the warmth of a San Diego sunset.

Key Characteristics:

• Pure Cane Sugar Base: Distilled exclusively from pure cane sugar, providing a cleaner, more refined taste profile.
• Hybrid Still Distillation: Crafted using a combination of pot and column stills, balancing complexity with smoothness.
• Aged for Richness: Aged to bring out deep flavors of vanilla and caramel, contributing to its golden color and smooth finish. (Note: Some versions may include infusion with natural pineapple and coconut flavors).
• San Diego Craftsmanship: Produced by Cutwater Spirits, an acclaimed distillery recognized for its dedication to quality and innovation.
• Versatile Spirit (70 or 80 Proof / 35% or 40% ABV): Strong enough to carry flavors in mixed drinks, yet smooth enough for enjoyable sipping. (Proof can vary, often found at 70 Proof/35% ABV, but sometimes 80 Proof/40% ABV, especially for general Tiki Gold without specific fruit flavors.)
• Gluten-Free: A natural choice for those with dietary preferences.

Tasting Notes:

• Appearance: Bright, inviting golden hue.
• Nose: Rich aromas of vanilla, sweet caramel, and ripe tropical fruits like pineapple and banana. If flavored, notes of toasted coconut and fresh pineapple will be prominent.
