English Spiced Rum

A refreshing alternative to conventional spiced rums, jam-packed with luxurious flavour. Our award-winning Old Salt Rum is fermented from scratch at Treguddick, then macerated with red cherries, vanilla and hibiscus flowers, which give it its distinct red colour. Sweet, smooth and hauntingly layered: a true Cornish rum.

Judging Panel, Great British Food Awards 2020: “This drink differs dramatically from your usual Caribbean rums, and in our opinion for the better. Its subtle warmth & hint of cherries gives it a distinctive flavour, from the first sip to the end of the glass it is a real treat. The use of alternate British fruit that is often forgotten made us like it more.”

Tasting Notes

Big, juicy cherries; the hibiscus acts as a floral foil. The citrus provides some refreshing lift to the rich raisin and caramel notes of the base rum.

No fire and no burn: just a genuine and gorgeous spiced rum to make England proud.

Process

This is the original English Spiced Rum: the first spiced rum made with a UK distilled spirit. We use our tremendous Old Salt Rum as a base - giving us not only a smooth sip but also complete control over the flavour profile. 

​The flavours used as the ‘spices’ are also unusual: we’ve opted for a fruity and floral route rather than the common spicing route of cloves, allspice, pepper and the like. This is a premium spiced rum with a delicious and aromatic taste.

Ingredients

Old Salt Rum; cherries (a nod to England); hibiscus flower (a nod to the caribbean); citrus zests; and a few other bits referred to by Dr John as ‘pixie dust’. The hibiscus also provides a lovely pink/red hue to the spirit which further makes it stand in a class of its own.

Serving suggestions

A delicious English spiced rum that’s great for sipping, or as a base for cocktails. Our favourite is Alcoholic Assam: a double of English Spiced Rum, a double of tonic, two slices of ginger and a few torn mint leaves.
