WHAT IS SMOKED SPICED RUM?
Hate spiced rums cause they’re too harsh and sickly sweet? Yeah, us too. That’s why, in 2016, we decided to make our own smooth, sexy, grown-up version: SMOKED SPICED RUM.

First, we take our proprietary Sweetdram blend of aged Caribbean rums and fill it into the infusion tank. This blend – from Guyana and Barbados – is the perfect base to build flavour on, with strong notes of Demerara brown sugar, rich molasses and hints of fresh fruit salad. Then we infuse a mixture of bright green botanicals (chamomile, lime leaf, fennel, and cardamom), grain of paradise for peppery spice, superior lapsang souchong tea and organic figs, which we warm-smoke over oak at the distillery. The result is a dry, bold, aromatic spirit that sits somewhere between rum and a slightly smoky Speyside single malt whisky.

Unlike some other spiced rums, our SMOKED SPICED RUM is completely natural with no artificial flavours or colour and no added sugar or sweeteners. Plus, no childish marketing gimmicks, like sea creatures or pirates, since we’re all adults.

DO YOU MAKE YOUR OWN RUM AT THE DISTILLERY?
No, we don’t, for a couple of reasons. First, rolling around in sticky molasses doesn’t sound like much fun to us. Second, distilling rum in Scotland isn’t actually very sustainable when you consider we’d have to ship sugarcane halfway across the world to be fermented and processed. We’d rather work with the rum experts, who’ve been doing this for generations in their home countries, to create a consistent, aged blend that suits us.
