Spytail Rum Company is in the Cognac region of France. It has a long history of rum blending and maturation. This history goes back to France's 18th Century links with Caribbean rum. France used its sugar cane plantations in the Caribbean. This helped create a supply of sugar and rum. The rum was made using old methods. It was then barrelled and sent across the Atlantic to French ports like La Rochelle. Here, it was bottled and sent around France.
Spytail's Blending Method
The brand blends rum to honour this old practice. The company gets aged rums from the Caribbean, mainly from Trinidad and Guyana. They blend them in their cellars. This makes two main rums: Spytail Cognac Cask and Spytail Ginger.
Spytail Cognac Cask
This involves Caribbean rum aged in cognac casks. This adds a rich layer to the taste. It fits with the region's famous spirit.
Spytail Ginger
This is a dark rum aged in cognac casks and mixed with ginger and spices. It offers a new take on traditional spiced rums. It gets its taste from fresh ginger from the Far East and selected spices.
Both rums show Spytail Rum Company's focus on modern spirit making. They also honour old traditions and history.
