Myrtle Bank 10 year old Jamaican Rum Batch 10 "Tiki Blend"

A bold, luxuriant Jamaican rum with head-turning intensity and remarkable depth for its age.

Origins & Craftsmanship

Myrtle Bank hails from Jamaica, a country celebrated for its highly aromatic, full-flavored rums. Batch 10 is a single-batch, 10-year-aged Jamaican rum, crafted from molasses and distilled using a combination of pot and column stills typical of the island’s diverse distillation heritage. The spirit matured for a decade in ex-bourbon and seasoned oak barrels, where slow interaction with oak and tropical maturation in Jamaican climate drove the development of deep, concentrated layers of flavor. Batch 10 is a limited release, each iteration reflecting careful barrel selection and blending to capture both robustness and nuance.

At 50% ABV, this expression retains bold structural identity while balancing rich fruit and spice complexity, showing how extended tropical aging can elevate a rum beyond simple sweetness or heat.
