Ariki White Rum is a modern expression of the Pacific spirit—crafted in small batches using high-quality sugarcane molasses and pure water, then triple distilled for a clean, polished character. Though clear in appearance, it carries the structure and richness of a well-made sipping rum, while remaining ideal for cocktail creativity. Designed to reflect the purity and vibrancy of the South Pacific, Ariki is proudly made in New Zealand.
Bouquet Bright and elegant on the nose, with subtle aromas of citrus zest, coconut husk, white pepper and sugarcane. Delicate floral notes emerge with time in the glass.
Palate Smooth, clean and well-balanced. Notes of fresh lime, vanilla and white chocolate glide across the palate, backed by a soft sweetness and silky mouthfeel. There’s a gentle spice on the finish that adds character without heat—making it perfect for sipping or mixing.
Food Pairing Perfect in a classic Daiquiri, Mojito, or with fresh tropical mixers like coconut water or pineapple juice. Try it with fresh ceviche, grilled seafood, or South Pacific cuisine like ika mata or taro fritters.
Cellaring Best enjoyed young and fresh. Once opened, store in a cool place and enjoy within 1–2 years for peak purity.
Interesting Fact “Ariki” means “chief” or “noble” in many Polynesian languages. True to its name, this white rum blends tradition and refinement, honouring its Pacific roots while offering world-class quality from a New Zealand base.
