Top 10 Gifts for Rum Lovers This Christmas
Rumbullion!
The spiced rum to end all spiced rums. Rumbullion! delivers classic winter warmth with a blend of high-proof Caribbean rum, Madagascan vanilla, bright orange peel, cassia, clove and a faint drift of cardamom. It takes its cues from old naval grog and comes wrapped in brown paper with twine and black wax. Tastes exactly like something a sea dog would have held dear when the weather turned foul.
Depth Charge Black Cherry Spiced Rum
Depth Charge Black Cherry delivers rich, syrupy black cherry alongside vanilla, lime, cinnamon, cardamom and mandarin. It’s dense, fruity and wonderfully sticky, the sort of thing that works in Tiki cocktails, hot apple drinks, spirit-forward serves, or simply poured neat when the weather turns icy.
Dunderhead Rum
Dunderhead lives up to its name in the best possible way. It blends Caribbean rums with a high-ester Jamaican component full of overripe banana, pineapple, sharp citrus and full-throttle funk. This is one for the rum nerds, the flavour chasers and anyone looking to wake up a punch bowl. Nothing understated here, except the price.
Green Island Superior Light Rum
Green Island’s Superior Light Rum is a true secret weapon. From Mauritius, this is a clean, bright, charcoal-filtered spirit aged between three and five years. It’s ideal for Mojitos, Daiquiris and highballs when someone inevitably decides Christmas counts as cocktail season. Smooth, light and surprisingly characterful for the price.
Project #173 Christmas Pudding Rum
Project #173 has taken on Christmas itself and squeezed it into a bottle. Built on a core of delicious rum and infused with proper yuletide flavours, it smells and tastes like someone has legally bottled Christmas pudding. Great for sipping alongside an actual pudding or mixing into festive cocktails. Even better to gift to someone who takes dessert seriously.
DropWorks Barrel Drop Rum
DropWorks Barrel Drop Rum comes from an ambitious English rum distillery. Fermented with its signature trinity yeast and matured in a mix of casks including American and Portuguese oak hybrids, it brings depth, spice, fruit and a touch of English eccentricity. A brilliant gift for anyone who thinks they’ve tried everything.
The Premium Rum Signature Collection
A total gift win. The Drinks by the Dram 12 Dram Premium Rum Collection brings together a dozen wax-sealed tasters from some of the best rum makers across the globe. It suits picky rum fans, enthusiastic beginners, and anyone impossible to shop for. Also excellent for sharing with friends, preferably in the name of festive research.
Foursquare 14 Year Old (Master of Malt) Christmas 2026 Rum
Foursquare produces the sort of rum that makes a seasoned fan pause mid-sentence and go back for another sip. So you’ll understand why we went to Barbados for this addition to our Christmas 2026 range. Matured in a bourbon barrel for 14 years, it’s a fine bottle for the rum enthusiast at your Christmas table. Just 329 bottles.
Crossfire Hurricane Gold Rum
“I was bornnnnn, in a crossfire hurricane…”
Yes, it’s The Rolling Stones rum! It blends aged Caribbean rums from Jamaica, Barbados and the Dominican Republic. Ideal as a gift for people who love good booze and music. What a Venn diagram that is. Let’s hang out.
Guyanese & Jamaican Rum Level 2 – The CaskCade Collection (Master of Malt)
Level 1 was too easy and sold out in days. So welcome to Level 2. This blended rum inserts another coin into our CaskCade Collection with a marriage of aged and unaged rums from Guyana and Jamaica. The molasses-rich depth of classic Guyanese rum and the characterful helping of Jamaican funk are accented by partial maturation in oloroso sherry casks. A super combo. But, with just 245 bottles, we fear Level 2 might be cleared quickly too…
