A cream liqueur which you can have anytime, any place, and whatever the excuse.

The September 2001 issue of "Got Rum?", an online Rum Magazine available at http://www.rumshop.net ( http://www.rumshop.net/newsletters/september2001.pdf ) included the following review...

Now here’s an original idea: what happens when you mix peanuts (which happen to be considered an aphro-disiac in some Caribbean countries) with rum (which we all KNOW is the most sensuous of all distilled spirits in the world)? The answer is simple: you go NUTS over the result!

Nutz N Rum, 30-Proof.

When I first heard about this rum I thought “that’s crazy” and it is, but in a very delightful way! When you first pour this heavy-bodied drink into your glass, its thick, almost syrup-like consistency starts releasing a very genuine slightly roasted peanut aroma, followed by a sweet caramel undertone. Opens nicely and sweet in the palate, where it finally lets the rum inside make itself known. It is a light bodied rum, unaged more than likely, but with all the subtle characteristics that have made Saint Lucian rums famous around the world. Try this rum on the rocks or straight up as an after-dinner treat.

I also found a few sites that suggested having it over ice-cream. Nothing about it seems "TIKI" but it does sound interesting!
