About this SPIRIT
Own Range Rum
Our collection of rum represents a range of countries around the world, from Jamaica and Barbados to Mauritius and Fiji.
These different rums can vary greatly in style and taste: spicy or fruity, white or dark, smoky or bright. Broadly speaking, there are three distinctive styles of rum, which have been shaped by historical colonial forces: British, French and Spanish.
Rums made in English-speaking regions, such as Barbados and Belize, tend to be heavier and richer in style. Those made in French-speaking areas, such as Haiti, are likely to be leafy and smoky; while Spanish-speaking countries, such as Nicaragua and Guatemala, are likely to produce a lighter, brighter style of rum. You’ll also find an ever-expanding collection of rums from other territories and continents, from Mauritius to England.

Description
The Caribbean boasts a long history of rum distilling, born of the sugar plantations that began to develop in the 17th century. Each country has its unique style and with maturity the full, intense fruit, spice and, often, molasses flavours shine through. Rich molasses mingle with melon and dark toffee aromas. There is a tarry smokiness. The palate is unctuous, bursting with fruit but dried by tar and spice.
