Jack Ratt Spiced Rum is produced by the fine folks at Lyme Bay Winery in Devon, made with Caribbean rum aged in bourbon barrels and spiced with nutmeg, orange peel, clove and vanilla. The name comes from Jack Rattenbury, a notorious smuggler in the West Country, and the type of fishing boat he would use to smuggle his contraband.
Although the recipe includes vanilla, it's intentionally in a supporting role here as the producers wished to avoid it "overpowering" the other flavours (as perhaps it does in some other spiced rums...).
Honey and caramel, with underlying banana-y esters. Slightly oily at points, with slowly growing spice notes at the core.
Found this at lyme Bay, now it is my favourite drink. Superb.
A perfect Christmas Rum with its orange, clove and nutmeg tones and vanilla finish.
I think lugger Rum is great ,I am not a rum drinker I tried it at my sons now I drink nothing else,we usually buy at Waitrose in York but they have stop selling it .Anna
Tastes like rum with coca cola syrup. Not to my taste and really not what I expected. I'll give it a miss in future.
A truly deliciously comforting rum..one of the best I’ve ever sampled. Easy and beautiful to drink. Slides down, softly, like a gentle and warm hug of an old friend.
