Press Release

The golden essence of The Kohinoor Reserve Indian Dark Rum traces its heritage to ancient India, where the roots of alcohol distillation were planted during the era of the Indus Valley civilisation, spanning from 3000 BC to 2000 BC. Rum is arguably one of the earliest known spirits due to its simple production process. Its main ingredient, sugarcane, was first known to be fermented in India. The earliest records of crystalline sugar production also originated in India.

The Kohinoor Reserve Indian Dark Rum is presented in an exquisite glass bottle, mirroring the magnificence of the Kohinoor Diamond. When viewed from above, it resembles the brilliant oval cut of the diamond. Kohinoor, meaning Mountain of Light, represents the rarest of the rare. The bottle's design cascades gracefully, evoking the image of a noble emperor, standing resolutely with a sturdy foundation. Its understated and refined branding, accented with muted gold, enhances its opulence.

RRP: US$ 49.99 for 70cl, ABV: 43%
