{"product_id":"trader-vics-gold-rum","title":"Trader Vic's Gold Rum","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eVictor Bergeron opened Hinky Dink's in Oakland in 1932, renamed it Trader Vic's by 1936, and invented the Mai Tai there in 1944 — and this rum exists for essentially one purpose: to build that drink. Trader Vic's Gold is a Caribbean molasses-based rum bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV), created specifically as a mixing rum for the restaurant chain and its cocktails. Reviewers are refreshingly candid about what it is. One RumRatings taster put it perfectly: \"Trader Vic's gold rum exists for one reason and one reason only: Mai Tais. And it makes a perfect Mai Tai. This rum is distilled to be mixed, and it mixes brilliantly.\" Another found subtle spice and vanilla with good flavor and genuine value for the price. Expect a light golden pour with sugarcane, vanilla, and light caramel on the nose, and gentle toffee, soft oak, and mild spice on the palate, finishing clean. This isn't built for slow neat sipping and doesn't pretend to be — it's the affordable, dependable workhorse behind Mai Tais, rum punches, daiquiris, and tiki drinks where the rum needs to hold its shape against lime, orgeat, and curaçao without stealing the show. Buying it from the brand that wrote the Mai Tai recipe is the point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBuy Trader Vic's Gold Rum online with fast shipping right to your door.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chips Liquor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49369758892288,"sku":"C0010173L","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/8089\/7892\/files\/TraderVicsGold.jpg?v=1787462874","url":"https:\/\/chipsliquor.com\/products\/trader-vics-gold-rum","provider":"Chips Liquor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
