Created by Founder and Master Blender Arnaud de Trabuc, and inspired by the travels and discoveries of legendary 18th-century British explorer and botanist Sir Joseph Banks, Banks is blended according to a secret formula developed by blending rums from up to seven different origins including Trinidad, Jamaica, Guyana, Barbados, Panama, Guatemala and Java. The final blends are aged in previously used bourbon barrels. Founded in 2008, Banks is based in Port Louis, Mauritius.Bank's Golden Age 7 Island Blend Rum is a limited edition rum created to celebrate the Bank's 200th anniversary. The blend is made from 7 types of rum aged up to 7 years in oak barrels. The result is a golden rum with notes of coconut, vanilla, and honey. The limited edition rum will be available in September 2017.
