Idle Assembly Rum 70cl

Idle Assembly Rum was inspired by the time founder David Flint Wood spent in Dunmore Town on Harbour Island in the Bahamas, where he lived for almost thirty years. There used to be a sign there at Government Dock containing a list of rules and regulations, including one that states there should be 'no loafing or idle assembly'. Hence the name of this rum, which was made for those who do want to idle in the sun, drinking rum.

The spirit itself is a blend of rums crafted by a third-generation family of rum blenders in Colombia, who pulled together rums from Trinidad, the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, and Panama aged in bourbon white oak barrels for between 5 and 20 years. It's a tour of the Caribbean and beyond in a bottle. Speaking of which, there are just 6,500 bottles available from the first batch of Idle Assembly.

In celebration of the heyday of island travel which was the ’50s and ’60s when seaplanes were all the rage, the hand-made illustration depicts one coming in to land between the reef and a palm-lined beach. The bottle is also a tribute to a time when the rum of the islands was decanted into the most commonly available vessel - a standard whisky bottle.
