This silky sipper is built upon a base of unaged pot still rums from Barbados and Jamaica, infused with a clever concoction of ingredients. The likes of vanilla, roasted coffee beans, and gold cherry impart layers of character to explore – superb sipped neat over ice, and we can imagine this working rather well in a twist on an Espresso Martini.
Classic notes of aromatic spices mingle with runny caramel and roasty coffee. Silky layers of dried fruit and vanilla linger throughout, with a gently warming finish.
I first saw this rum while scrolling on amazon and was immediately captivated by the bottle, after researching more I found it feature on a list of the rapper stormzy's favorite rums. After going through the website I found it was a blend of Jamaican and Bajan rums and founded by black British man from London (as a fellow black British man from London, as well being from Jamaican extraction) these facts about the brand led to me spend £40 on a bottle and subsequently £30 on refills on two occasions. I can truly say this is far and away the best spiced rum I've ever tried and the only spiced rum I'd happily drink neat. You can really taste the notes of Vanilla and Coffee beans and also a hint of cinnamon. In addition to the rum itself the bottle is possible the best looking bottle of any alcohol I've personally ever come across, any challenged by perhaps the Bumbu XO bottle. The bottle acting as a reusable decanter for which refill pack are available at a discounted price is sensational also. A massive congratulations to founder Mr Sam Williams for his incredible work and wishing all the best for success in the future.
