Tiburon double aged rum from our beautiful country of Belize was developed by Basil DeStefano in his quest to take the finest aged rum from Traveller’s Liquors of Belize to the United States. The extra attention to detail in the aging process delivers subtle hints of vanilla and salty caramel with ripe banana, butterscotch and toasted oak, followed by a semi-dry smooth finish.

Tiburon Rum is a special rum which has been aged and blended from a variety of barrels of varying age and character. Only the finest local ingredients are used to achieve the highest quality rum, which is re-casked by Master Blenders into Kentucky Oak Bourbon Barrels for the “second maturation” to allow the natural tannins to give the rum a rich golden color, smooth finish, and subtle hints of vanilla and oak. An alluring spirit as exotic as Belize itself, Tiburon Rum has a taste profile that is perfect for sipping or mixing.

The Spanish word for shark, Tiburón evokes a sense of the majestic, untamed tropical spirit of Belize, known for its outstanding coral reefs, blue holes and pristine beaches. The bottle includes a shark tooth around the neck and an image of the shark placed dominantly on the label. The 750ml bottle carries a suggested retail price of $34.99(US).
