A rum lost to history, recreated in the present..
Re-introduction
Tabiki Rum is based on the production principles of local Surinamese Rum in the 18th and 19th century. Before the introduction of oak aging, Rum was stored in barrels and containers of local wood.
We at Spirits of the Amazon have reintroduced this specific aging proces, utilizing one specific type of local wood, while adding nothing else but base spirit.
Origin
Two friends, united by their love for Spirits and deep respect for the history and natural beauty of Suriname, set off to find a woodspecies that would rival the complexity of Oak.
This journey led them to uncover a hidden gem: a 19th-century Rum recipe. Motivated by this discovery, they set out to revive the legacy of rum production in Suriname, founding Spirits of the Amazon.
Their mission was not just to create a Rum, but to handcraft a story in every bottle, connecting you to the heart of the Amazon with each sip.
History of Rum
Following the abolition of slavery in 1863, Suriname’s sugar cane production—and the substantial rum industry it supported—saw a decline. Rum, a pivotal product of our country, was crafted from nearly exclusively natural ingredients, incorporating some unique elements found only in the Amazon.
Today, we seek to bring this rich heritage back to life, combining traditional methods with modern sustainability practices. Our rum is a bridge between past and present, offering a taste of history with every pour.

Untouched
Suriname, located on the northeastern coast of South America, holds a unique position in the Guiana Shield. This ancient geological formation is one of the world’s oldest, contributing to Suriname’s rich and diverse landscape. The country’s pristine forests, which cover more than 90% of its territory, are among the most untouched and ecologically significant in the world.
These vast green expanses are teeming with biodiversity, offering a haven for countless species of flora and fauna, many of which are found nowhere else on Earth.
Ancient water
At the heart of Suriname’s natural wealth is the Zanderij Aquifer, a source of water that is as ancient as the land itself. This aquifer supplies some of the purest water on the planet, filtered naturally over millennia through layers of sand and rock.
The water from the Zanderij aquifer is renowned for its exceptional purity and mineral content, making it an ideal ingredient in the production of high-quality rum. Its pristine nature is a testament to the unspoiled environment from which it is drawn, embodying the essence of Suriname’s untouched wilderness.

This sense of mystery and the possibility of new discoveries contribute to the enchanting and enigmatic character of Suriname’s rainforests.
