Wild Tiger Special Reserve Dark Rum is a premium dark rum from Kerala, India. It is crafted using molasses-based column distillate combined with pure cane juice spirit (double-distilled in pot stills), then matured in American oak bourbon casks. The aging and blend deliver a smooth, well-rounded profile. The rum is also known for its distinctive packaging, including a tiger-stripe motif and commitments to social responsibility (e.g. tiger conservation).
