Yes, Takamaka Pti Lakaz #2 is a no age statement (NAS) rum. But what exactly does that mean?

According to the rules, when an age is stated on the bottle, it must always be the youngest whisky in the blend and not the age that is the most represented percentage-wise in the blend. A producer will therefore consciously choose not to state an age on his bottle in two cases: when an old whisky is blended with a small proportion of younger whisky, or when young whisky is blended with a proportion of older whisky. In the first case, he does not want to put a young age on his bottle if his blend contains mainly older whisky, and in the second case, from a marketing point of view it is more interesting to go out with that particle of older whisky.

But if you are looking for a gift for an experienced rum-drinker they may not be waiting for yet another glass and then this one Takamaka Pti Lakaz #2 might even be a better choice than such a gift pack.

Whether you drink this Takamaka Pti Lakaz #2 rum best with or without ice is a personal choice. We have always chosen not to take a stance on adding water or ice to rum.

No, Takamaka Pti Lakaz #2 is an official bottling of Saint André.

No, Takamaka Pti Lakaz #2 is not produced according to the solera system.

The "Dark 'n Stormy" cocktail is a protected trademark of Gosling Brothers Ltd. According to official rules, a cocktail may therefore only be called Dark 'N Stormy (with one apostrophe) if it is made with Gosling's Rum and ginger beer.

Since Gosling only registered the name with single apostrophe, the same cocktail is also described elsewhere as a Dark 'n' Stormy (with double apostrophe) or as a Safe Harbor in an attempt to get out from under the trademark and licensing problems.

If you don't mind the official designation and want to make a cocktail based on the recipe of the official Dark 'n Stormy, this Takamaka Pti Lakaz #2 is definitely a good choice. To make an official, correct Dark 'n Stormy, however, you need Gosling's Black Seal rum.
