Synonymous with the sea, rum is often associated with sailors, pirates and sunny islands alike. Getting its dark and caramel colourings from the charred oak barrels it is matured in, dark Rum hosts a whole host of intense flavours. Traditionally brewed in tropical heat which makes the spirit soak up all the different elements present in the production process, dark Rum often has layered tones of smoke, vanilla and dried fruits, creating an intense flavour profile.

This spirit really packs a punch and its strong palate means it is ideal drunk on its own, stirred into a mixer or as part of a flavoursome cocktail. Whatever you decide to do with it, it is sure to add a dash of tropical sunshine whatever the weather.
