In some small way, we like to think of Seven Tiki as 'squaring the circle' of Polynesian movement, and it is named in homage to the great settlement fleets of our recent legends. Of course, Seven Tiki does not take 1500 years to reach New Zealand, nor does it cross the maritime constellation of Polynesia, but the rum does take a voyage of sorts, from the heart of the tropics to the lush, green land of the Long White Cloud. The idea of the 'Island Paradise' represented by the Tiki has had a strong hold on the 'civilise' imagination since the European explorers like Cook and De Bougainville returned with great tales of the exotic in the 1700s. It has fuelled everything from political philosophy - Rousseau's Noble Savage - to abstract art.

This is 42 Below’s newest product and is made in Fiji. Aged for a minimum of 12-months, Seven Tiki is a fully fermented ‘Añejo’ dark rum, using molasses from premium quality Fijian sugar cane. It’s produced on a continuous still using steam from a wood fired boiler and then aged in wood vats. A full bodied rum, Seven Tiki has an excellent combination of fruity aroma (esters: banana, apricot and a hint of vanilla), balanced by aging in wood barrels for one to five years. Over ice the spicy notes become more pronounced and it takes on a warm finish. In a cocktail the palm sugar notes become more prominent and the finish is clean and crisp.

Closure: CORK

Alternative wine closures are substitute closures used in the wine industry for sealing wine bottles in place of traditional cork closures. The emergence of these alternatives has grown in response to quality control efforts by winemakers to protect against "cork taint" caused by the presence of the chemical trichloroanisole (TCA).

Screw caps or "Stelvin caps" are closures made only from aluminium material that threads onto the bottleneck. They are the predominant closure used by New Zealand wineries.[8][9] This can be attributed in part to the New Zealand screw cap initiative which promotes the use of screw caps instead of cork. Screw caps form a tighter seal and can keep out oxygen for a longer time than cork. These benefits aid in maintaining the wine's overall quality and aging potential.

Vino-Seal, or Vino-Lok, is a plastic/glass closure released by Alcoa. Since its introduction into the European market in 2003, over 300 wineries have utilized Vino-Seal. Using a glass stopper with an inert o-ring, the Vino-Seal creates a hermetic seal that prevents oxidation and TCA contamination.

Zork is an alternative wine closure that seals like a screw cap and pops like a cork. The Zork closure consists of three parts; an outer cap providing a tamper evident clamp that locks onto the band of a standard cork mouth bottle, an inner metal foil which provides an oxygen barrier similar to a screw cap, and an inner plunger which creates the ‘pop’ on extraction and reseals after use.

The traditional crowned bottle cap has been used in the sparkling wine industry as a closure during the bottle fermentation process (méthode traditionnelle). Normally the cap is replaced with a cork before shipping, though recently some producers are releasing wines using the crown cap as their closure.
