Aluna Rum is introducing Aluna Tropica to spotlight exotic South Asian flavors and all-natural ingredients like pandan lead, spiced pineapple, lemongrass and galangal. This tropically inspired rum boasts a smooth finish with honeyed spice notes and it's ready to be sipped neat or served in a cocktail.
This new rum release follows others from the brand, like a coconut rum crafted to challenge the idea that this type of product is always sickly sweet or full of synthetic flavors. "We have focused on taking a step away from the usual dark rums and sugary profiles," said co-founder Heather Graham, "[...] Experimenting with new culinary ingredients from South Asia has allowed us to create a really appealing product for those who like to explore better drinks."
