Product description
The Bitter Truth was founded in 2006 by two Munich bartenders, Stephan Berg and Alexander Hauck.
The new company's primary business was to be the creation of cocktail spices, the so-called "bitters", which were hard to come by on the German market at the time. Both founders had considerable experience in using and preparing bitters, and also had collections of such spices - both those currently in production and those whose production had long been abandoned. In addition to cocktail spices, The Bitter Truth soon began producing liqueurs, in which these spices were an important ingredient, as well as rums and gins.
Tiki Lovers Dark Overproof is one of three rums produced by The Bitter Truth Company. The other two are a white rum and a pineapple-flavored rum. Tiki Lovers Dark is a blend of Jamaican and Barbadian rums. These are pot stills, with the Jamaican rum coming from the Hampden Estate distillery and not being aged, and the Barbadian rum being a Foursquare distillery product, aged in oak barrels for 2 to 3 years. A small amount of young column stills from Trinidad and Guyana is added to this blend, and the final complexity of the Tiki Lovers Dark profile is provided by a touch of 3-5 year old Trinidadian rum.
Tiki Lovers Dark debuted on the market in 2011. Its bouquet features accents of vanilla, dark fruits, molasses and spices. It is perfect for serving with ice or in cocktails.
