Dark Rum

This is our dark rum NZ range, built around barrel-aged expressions that pick up colour and character during maturation. You'll find everything here aged in oak, delivering the molasses depth, vanilla, and warming finish dark rum is known for. We stock white rum separately if you need something lighter.

Which Dark Rum Suits You

If you want a proven aged rum NZ drinkers rate for sipping, Flor de Caña 12 Year Old delivers smooth vanilla and oak notes. Mocambo 15YO steps up the age statement for richer complexity. For classic navy strength and cocktail backbone, Pusser's Navy Rum is the pick. Bati Dark Rum 1000mL offers solid value in a larger format.
