Rum

Rum is perhaps the quintessential spirit of summer with its roots firmly planted in the sundrenched Caribbean Islands from where the spirit was first distilled from sugarcane juice in the 17th century. It was early settlers that introduced sugarcane to the region, which was perfectly suited to the climate and it quickly became the world’s centre of sugar and rum production.

Spiced rum has become incredibly popular in more recent years, largely due to the accessible flavours like vanilla, cinnamon, and lime peel which add layers and depth when mixed in a cocktail. Sailor Jerry has captured a significant portion of spiced rum category, as much in part from its cool branding, as from its tasty and versatile flavour profile.

The Cuban distillers in the 19th century developed a light aromatic style of rum that was distilled from molasses that became the preferred style and featured in many classic cocktails. BACARDÍ Rum was at the forefront of this new style of rum and became synonymous with classic Cuban cocktails.

Angostura Rum from the island of Trinidad has been making a unique style of blended rum that is perfect for cocktails; robust and warming but with delicate subtle notes of vanilla and dried fruit. Well known for their aromatic bitters, they are equally adept at making rum and more recently amaro bitters.

“Rum mixes seamlessly with tropical fruit juices, Angostura aromatic bitters and fancy syrups as well as being perfectly suited to simple concoctions like the Daiquiri, Mojito or Pina Colada,” mentions Ben. “Rum provides a depth and warmth to cocktails, delivering a delicious backdrop to add sweet, sour and tropical flavours.”
