Raising Glasses Muki Rum is a fiery and fearless spirit born from deep Ecuadorian folklore, inspired by the mythical cave goblin Muki, who trades labor for liquor—but beware if you come up short. Distilled from molasses using a column still, this unadulterated overproof rum spent two years aging in Ecuador’s tropical climate before heading to Europe for an additional four, developing a striking balance of heat, complexity, and elegance.

At 68.9% ABV, this high-octane expression comes alive with an unexpected flavor journey—starting with the cozy warmth of oatmeal cookie and toasted coconut, evolving into clove spice and vibrant orange zest, and finishing with herbal rye and a cooling note of spearmint. With no added sugar or flavoring, its profile is pure and powerful, rewarding both cautious sippers and adventurous mixers. Adding a splash of water opens up new dimensions, taming the intensity while amplifying its subtle layers.

Whether enjoyed neat with a few drops of water or in a bold, minimalist cocktail, Muki Rum is more than a rare find—it's a story in a bottle. Original label art by Bihan C and Cait Springer adds visual magic to this collectible piece, while 5% of all profits go to Yakuna.org, supporting technology access for Ecuadorian children.
