Founded by Carl Stephenson in 2006, Elements Eight rum does what it says on the tin, really! The brand aims to take eight individual key elements and marry them in harmony, adamant that the perfect rum is only possible if all eight elements are precisely combined. These eight elements are terroir, water, distillation, blending, cane, fermentation, tropical ageing and filtration. On its 10th birthday in July 2016 the brand saw a revamp, changing the bottle shape to a smaller vessel in order to reflect its small batch production.
