Rum & Co Bati White Chocolate Rum Liqueur

Bati White Chocolate Rum Liqueur comes from Fiji Rum & Co under the Bati brand, and it is best understood for exactly what it is, a low strength flavoured liqueur rather than a rum to sip neat. It carries no age statement and sits at just 25%, placing it squarely in dessert territory.

The profile is built entirely around white chocolate, sweet and rich on both nose and palate, though the sweetness is heavy and the white chocolate note carries a noticeably synthetic, confected character. This is not a dry or layered spirit and it does not pretend to be one. Where it earns its place is over ice cream with chocolate shavings on a warm evening, or stirred into sweeter cocktails to add a creamy chocolate note. Approached as a liqueur for those with a sweet tooth rather than a serious sipping rum, it does the job it sets out to do.
