Five unique Islands, one sophisticated blend. Banks 5 Island Blend is a pure, dry, flavorful white rum blend with unprecedented complexity, character and depth. The rum is carefully charcoal filtered to remove the pale color but retain its aroma and flavors. Banks 5 Island Blend is blended in the style of classic rums from the 1920s, making it ideal for cocktails - from classics, likethe Daiquiri, to more modern creations. Banks Rum allows more, true rum flavor in every drink. Earthy and tropical fruit notes with a touch of spice and hints of black strap molasses.
