Review: Bounty Lime Rum
Bounty Lime Rum was launched October 2017 and introduced in the US in 2018. The Bounty rum brand was established in 1972 as the principal brand of St Lucia Distillers, a united venture created when the last two distilleries of St Lucia merged. They also released their white, gold, dark, spiced, and coconut flavored rums for sale in the US initially on a limited basis as they build distribution. Bounty Lime Rum starts with the Bounty White rum base made from double column distilled Guyanese molasses. The rum is aged in once used bourbon casks for two years. The wood colors are filtered after blending. Natural lime sugars and flavors are macerated with the rum at 80 proof. Distilled water and natural sugar are then blended to reduce to 50 proof. Bounty distills, blends, and bottles their rums on site in St. Lucia. Read more 
Review: Bacardi Lime Rum
Bacardi Lime Rum was just released. It is Bacardi’s 9th flavored rum. The other flavors include Limon, Coconut, Dragonberry, Pineapple, Mango, Raspberry, Banana, and Grapefruit. Bacardi Lime is made from a molasses rum base. The molasses is fermented for 30 hours with a single strain of yeast, Le Levadura Bacardi, in closed fermentation tanks. The fermented molasses is split. Some is column distilled, and some beer distilled. Each is aged separately in charred American white oak barrels previously used to age bourbon. Once mature the rums are blended and filtered through a mix of charcoal made from tropical woods and coconut shells. Natural flavors are infused before bottling at 70 proof. Read more
Review: Malibu Lime Rum
Malibu Lime Rum was just released. This is not the first time Malibu has created a lime flavored rum. A previous Malibu Lime was produced until 2003. This is one of 15 rum varieties Malibu currently produces. With lime being such a popular flavor to mix with rum, I’m a little surprised Malibu went 15 years without having a lime flavored rum. But checking Bacardi Rums flavor lineup they don’t a lime flavored rum either. The rum base for Malibu is made from molasses created from the finest sugar cane crops and pure water. After fermenting with a proprietary yeast the spirit is distilled 3 times at the West Indies Distillery in Barbados. The rum is barreled and shipped to Canada where lime liqueur is infused with the rum before bottling at 42 proof. Read more
