A sure-fire hit from Ableforth's, Rumbullion! is a cockle-warming spiced concoction, based on the kind of rich, full-bodied rums the seafaring fraternity would have enjoyed centuries ago.
At the core of this fabulous winter warmer lies a blend of the very finest high proof Caribbean rum, to which was added creamy Madagascan vanilla and a generous helping of zesty orange peel. A secret recipe was followed, finished with a handful of cassia and cloves and just a hint of cardamom.
Rumbullion! proudly flaunts its maritime inspiration with a label that bears a hand-drawn illustration of a Navy grog tub, and just like all of the fine spirits in the Ableforth's arsenal, each bottle is wrapped in brown paper, wound with twine and sealed with black wax.
Enjoy it neat, or with ice and squeeze of fresh lime.

A fabulously decadent nose of intense, sweet vanilla and flamed orange zest. The cardamom makes itself known by offering up an evocative suggestion of old-fashioned cola, and to this the cloves bring out a deep, dark complexity. Yet more sweetness with cinnamon, which melds beautifully with essential oil notes of Seville orange peel.
At once a fabulous mix of thick cut bitter orange marmalade and tingling, zinging spices. Hints of Manuka honey and mouth-watering cinnamon form its heart, with molasses, candy floss, toffee apples, crème brûlée and clove-studded oranges.
A long finish, with tongue-prickling spices, and a stunning degree of freshness as cinnamon, orange and creamy, sweet vanilla notes coat the palate for minutes.
Rich and profoundly intense, this is a rum to see you through the coldest months.
I love it straight-up sipping, on the rocks and in cocktails, both daiquiri's and mai-tais are always a winner with my guests when Rumbullion is the base. So don't mess about 1.5l is the way to go and they are really cool doorstops once consumed. ;-)
This rum may take some getting used too as it has some powerful flavours but once you do you will love it. It has quickly shot close to the top of my favoured rum list

Very harsh and spicy, with a strong cinnamon flavour (reminded me a bit of fireball whisky, which is awful). Struggled with it neat, might be OK in a cocktail.
This was a grower for me, but it’s absolutely one of my favourites now. Hints of raisin and a bit of a cough medicine-ish twang on the nose and then a lovely burst of vanilla and orange zest on the palate. Amazing with a mixer but I always drink with a bit of ice. Couldn’t recommend this enough.
