Story and flavor
Created by Donn Beach in 1941, the Test Pilot is a tiki classic that blends rich Jamaican and light Puerto Rican rums with lime, falernum, triple sec, bitters, and just a whisper of absinthe. Smooth yet potent, with layers of spice, citrus, and subtle anise, it’s a tropical flight that’s as bold as its name.
