Leilani Hawaiian Rum
Many years ago at the World’s Longest Yardsale, an empty bottle of Leilani Hawaiian Rum turned up. Sven Kirsten said he has a display that held the bottle and was looking for a one to put in it. That put me on a search.
At the Tiki Ti you may have seen this. It’s an “adapted” display. A few years ago I happened upon the display in mint condition. Now I was in the spot Sven was. Until last week…
Behold the Leilani Hawaiian Rum display, with a vintage, unopened bottle of Leilani Hawaiian Rum!
Yes, that state tax seal is intact. Beach Bum Berry ranks it as one of his favorite white rums. I have tasted it via a few airline sized bottles over the years. I think I will keep this seal unbroken for a long time. I love having this perfect display in the bar!

Sweet! Is this the tiki bar equivalent of keeping your comic books in sealed bags?…;-)

Oh, far worse. It’s like getting vintage toys NIB (New In Box) and never opening them and playing with them, ever…

That’s like finding the Holy Grail, but….
Scenario 1: Ten of your “friends” are over having a Tiki drink party at your house testing out the best of the Bum’s drinks. All of a sudden you run out of rum at 1:00 A.M. or so. They begin staring at at the Leilani bottle, transfixed. There is nothing you can do - nooooooooooo not the Leilani!
Nice Score

Leilani was the first rum I ever tasted and I still remember it like yesterday!
