Created with input from New York mixologist Jim Meehan, a partner in the brand, this blend of 21 rums from five rum-producing countries—Trinidad, Jamaica, Barbados, Java and Guyana—would make a dynamite daiquiri. Bright lime flavors meld with warm brown-sugar notes and a funky, pleasantly spicy note on the finish. (KN)

I love this rum..... this is a great mixing rum with both sweet cane flavors and a bit of pot-still funk giving this a lot more layers than most inexpensive white mixing rums.

Notes

Bringing back the flavor to white rum, Banks is composed of various rums and crafted to bring out the earthy and pure cane flavors one might expect from an agricole rum, albeit not as intense. Aged rum from Trinidad, light rum from Guyana, light rum from Barbados, heavy pot still rum from Jamaica, and Batavia Arrack from Java (sugarcane and fermented Javanese rice) are all blended into one harmonious spirits and the color is then filtered out. Cocktail fans rejoice as this is one of the most flavorful and well-balanced white rums available.
