Crafted in the lush region of Chiapas, Mexico, Deadhead Dark Chocolate Rum blends fine aged rum with rich, natural cacao for a decadent twist on a Caribbean classic. This small-batch spirit begins with estate-grown sugarcane, carefully distilled and aged in American oak barrels, before being infused with premium dark chocolate. The result is a rum that celebrates both Mexican cacao heritage and the art of fine rum-making. Available at Whiskey Caviar.
