Trader Vic's Dark Rum

Trader Vic's Dark Rum carries the legacy of one of the most important names in cocktail history — Victor Jules Bergeron Jr., the Oakland visionary who invented the Mai Tai in 1944 and single-handedly defined the golden age of tiki. While the 151 is built for drama and punch bowl firepower, the Dark Rum is Trader Vic's everyday workhorse — the bottle that belongs in every home tiki bar and handles the full range of tropical cocktail applications with ease. Distilled from molasses and aged in oak barrels to develop its deep amber color and characteristic richness, Trader Vic's Dark Rum delivers the sweet, full-bodied Caribbean rum profile that made tiki cocktails so beloved in the first place. The nose brings molasses, caramel, vanilla, and warm baking spice, while the palate delivers dark sugarcane sweetness, rich toffee, tropical fruit, and a hint of oak — smooth enough to sip over ice but characterful enough to anchor a Dark & Stormy, a Planter's Punch, or a classic Zombie. Built to the same specifications that have served Trader Vic's restaurants worldwide for decades — a reliable, affordable dark rum with genuine tropical character and the most storied name in tiki behind it.
