A 19th-century recipe. A wood no one else uses. Nothing added. Ever.
Handcrafted in Paramaribo. Finished with a secret Amazonian wood stave. Batch numbered. Additive-free — by recipe, not by marketing.
We don't.
Most commercial rum contains added sugar, caramel colouring, or glycerine — legally, without any disclosure requirement. Tabiki contains none of it.
The amber colour? The wood.
The natural sweetness? The wood.
The complexity? The wood.
If you want to know what Amazonian hardwood tastes like in spirit form — this is your only chance.
After the abolition of slavery, Suriname's rum industry vanished. We found the original recipe — handcrafted, unadulterated, unchanged — and brought it back.
Before oak became the world's standard, Surinamese rum was aged in local Amazonian hardwood. We still use it. The species is our secret. The flavour is unmistakable.
Long ageing statements exist because cold climates are slow. In the Amazon, the wood does the work — faster, deeper, with compounds oak simply cannot produce.
We're a small Surinamese producer with a very large story. If Tabiki belongs on your ship — let's make it happen.
