Lunatic & Lover Silver Botanical Rum

Handmade in Auckland by husband-and-wife distillers, Lunatic & Lover Silver is New Zealand’s original botanical rum. Organic copper-pot rum is vapour-infused with a vivid blend of citrus, herbs and spice, creating a refined, modern spirit that bridges classic rum craft and botanical finesse—elegant for sipping, distinctive in long drinks, and superbly giftable in its striking bottle.
