About this bottle
Trader Vic's Original Caribbean 151 Proof Rum is an overproof blended rum, built from a selection of Caribbean rums and bottled at a genuine 151 proof (75.5% ABV). The nose is bold, with dark molasses and raw sugarcane pushing past the heat of the spirit. On the palate it's rich and hot — caramel and baking spice come through, but the high proof dominates, and the finish is long, warming, and unmistakably rum. This isn't a sipping rum; it's built for bartenders who need serious backbone or a flaming float in classic tiki drinks. Trader Vic's itself dates to 1934, when Victor Bergeron opened his original Oakland bar and helped invent tiki culture.
How to drink Trader Vic's Original Caribbean 151 Proof Rum
Don't drink this one neat — it's meant to be a float or rinse in a Zombie, Fogcutter, or other high-proof tiki classic, or used sparingly for a flaming presentation. A little goes a long way against the other spirits in the glass.
