The first and only Botanical rum of its kind in the world. An officially recognized trade secret process in Trinidad & Tobago. Two distilling arts are combined, the art of the spirit distiller and the art of the perfumer. Limited reserve dark rum from Trinidad and Tobago aged in single bourbon barrels is married to two types of high-altitude tea from India and tropical aromatic flower petals to create this "luxury Spirit of Rum". This rum can be enjoyed equally as a sipping product as well as in elevated rum cocktails.

Sophisticated & complex the notes are slightly nutty at the start and evolve quickly into caramel and vanilla, rising to a crescendo of tingling spice. The finish is long and redolent of the rum's malty black tea of the high Himalaya.

Akal Chai rum is the world’s most sophisticated ultra-premium rum. For the first time ever, it brings the tea master’s craft, the art of the parfumier and distillers’ skill together in a seamless marriage of disciplines and ingredients.

Sophisticated & complex the notes are slightly nutty at the start and evolve quickly into caramel and vanilla, rising to a crescendo of tingling spice. The finish is long and redolent of the rum's malty black tea of the high Himalaya.

Unparallel smoothness, and a complex aroma distinguish this ultra-premium product from anything else in this category.

Production takes place across three regions of the world- India, Europe and the West Indies, the embodiment of a second “Age of Discovery” through the senses – The world distilled in a glass.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Complex perfume of honey, vanilla and exotic spices form the 'top' notes.

Palate: Hints of citrus and caramel form the 'heart'.

Flavor: Notes of malty black tea and black fruit provide a round and lingering finish or 'base'.
