Bati Fijian Premium 2Yr White Rum

Bati White comes from Fiji's South Pacific Distillery in Lautoka — opened in 1980 by the Fiji Sugar Corporation, and for decades the quiet source behind award-winning Fijian releases from Europe's best independent bottlers. Master Distiller Liam Costello eventually cut the bulk contracts and built the Bati range, named for the warriors who protected the Fijian homeland, to sell the distillery's rum under its own name. The White is made from hand-cut cane grown in Fiji's rich volcanic soil, aged two years in oak, then filtered through coconut-shell charcoal — one of the gentlest and most effective filtrations there is — so the color goes but the character stays, bottled at 80 proof with no additives. It took Gold at the 2021 Bartender Spirits Awards, which judges specifically on mixing ability, balance, and value. Expect a fresh, lifted nose of golden apple, mango, and overripe banana with citrus, opening into a palate of fresh-cut grass, soft vanilla oak, and light spice — a white rum with far more going on than the neutral, column-still style that dominates the category. It's built for the daiquiri, the mojito, and the Piña Colada, and it has enough Fijian character that a splash in a tiki drink actually shows up. Fiji's answer to the aged white rums of the Caribbean, at an honest price.
