October’s Surprise Box of Spiced Rum Featuring Matugga Spiced Rum

By October 9, 2022 0

SCOTTISH CRAFT, AFRICAN SOUL.

Inspired by Matugga’s rich African roots, infused with Jamaican rum-making traditions and perfected with centuries of Scottish distilling expertise, Matugga is handcrafted by explorers, for explorers. 

Matugga have developed a Spiced Rum with a distinctly East African profile using a masala chai blend of black tea, ginger, cloves, vanilla, cardamom, and cinnamon. They have carefully chosen the exact size and age of each of their botanicals to ensure that just the right flavours develop during maceration, ensuring tannins are tightly controlled. The recipe is rounded off with a touch of delicious Scottish honey. 

TASTING NOTES 

NUANCED, ELEGANT, AROMATIC AND HONEYED. On the nose we have marzipan, salted caramel and hints of cacao.
The palate is a flood of honeyed spice confectionary notes before a long caramel infused tea finish.

September’s Surprise Box of Rum Featuring Dos Maderas 5+5 Rum

By September 10, 2022 0

RICH, RIPE, SMOOTH

Dos Maderas 5+5 PX begins its journey in the Caribbean, where we carry out a careful selection of rums from Guyana and Barbados. These certified rums, of the highest quality, are static aged for five years in casks that have previously been used to age Bourbon. The rum is then shipped to Bodegas Williams & Humbert in Jerez, where the second stage of ageing commences in our traditional Solera system.

The casks chosen to age Dos Maderas 5+5 are over 100 years old and have been used to age two oenological jewels of Williams & Humbert: Palo Cortado “Dos Cortados” and Pedro Ximénez “Don Guido”. Both Sherries are bottled after ageing in these old casks for a minimum of 20 Years and they are certified by the Sherry D.O.  Palo Cortado is a dry Sherry, very aromatic and full of flavour. Pedro Ximénez (PX) is a very sweet, dark Sherry made from grapes that, once harvested, are left out in the Andalusian sunshine to become raisin. The period of ageing in ‘PX’ casks transforms the rum, giving it a darker colour and its very distinctive sweeter flavour.

We can therefore say that Dos Maderas 5+5 is a triple aged rum, in fact, it could be called 5+3+2 ! That is, 5 years of ageing in the Caribbean, 3 years in Palo Cortado sherry casks and 2 years in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks.

TASTING NOTES:

Dark amber in color, this intriguing rum offers fig and raisin notes at first, leading to rich, ripe fruit on the palate. This is seasoned by some tropical spice and wrapped in sherry notes, with wisps of smoky oak and a touch of tobacco leaf.

August’s Surprise Box of Spiced Rum Featuring No Name Mango Spiced Rum

By September 10, 2022 0

TRADITIONAL TECHNIQUES AND 100%FRESH INGREDIENTS.

To differentiate between the Faith & Sons range and the new rum range, Filipe knew they needed a new name and design. Maybe all my energy had been used on the flavours, mixed with months of cabin fever, but I decided on No Name Distillery. The label was inspired by a love of retro sci-fi and really helps the rums stand out both on a bar and in somebody’s home drinks cabinet. To call it, a micro distillery, may be an understatement. I was working on my own for 5 years until 2020 when I recruited Jack. We had already met working in a Manchester cocktail bar together briefly in 2014. We shared a passion for spirits and the hospitality industry and stayed in touch after I left the bar to focus on my distillation studies. We still do everything ourselves, from labelling all the drinks by hand, to travelling across the country for drinks events and shows. 

The rum has a velvety texture, some subtle nutmeg, and vanilla notes which help to push the tropical mango to the forefront. Perfect for mixing with your favourite mixer, experimenting with cocktails or even drinking over ice.

Jackdaw Cave Spiced Rum

May’s Surprise Box of Spiced Rum Featuring Jackdaw Cave Spiced Rum

By May 18, 2022 0

Jackdaw Cave – The taste of adventure

May’s Spiced Rum from Jackdaw Cave creates a taste of adventure!

Jackdaw Cave Spiced Rum is a product born out of both: a passion by Far Shore Merchants for developing outstanding artisan rums and precision distilling with the finest ingredients. Inspired by an old smugglers’ cave hidden in a jagged cove on the rugged coast of the Isle of Man  – complete with a hole in the roof to lower illicit cargo into waiting boats below – Jackdaw Cave is a celebration of the romance, intrigue and excitement of the early days of rum trading. 

Tasting notes;
With warming notes of vanilla, orange, and caramel, undertones of exotic spices such as nutmeg and cinnamon, plus hints of coffee, ginger, and pepper, this fragrantly flavoured rum was created to both satisfy connoisseurs and attract new drinkers to the market.

Jackdaw Cave is distilled from scratch by the hugely talented Tom Read of The Cornish Distilling Company. Using unique recipes, grade A molasses and the best ingredients available, the distillation process is carefully controlled from fermentation to ageing to ensure the rums are rich, flavourful, and easy to drink.

In the case of Jackdaw Cave, the secret is to add the spices whilst the rum is at 60% ABV, when it is left to macerate for a few weeks, so the alcohol has time to extract all these flavours. It is then sweetened with raw cane sugar before Cornish spring water drops the ABV to 37.5%.

A gold medal winner in The Spirits Business Design and Packaging Awards 2021, Jackdaw Cave is also a silver medal winner in The Spirits Business Rum & Cachaça Masters 2022 for taste.

May’s Surprise Box of Craft Rum Featuring The Two Drifters Signature Rum

By May 18, 2022 0

CARBON NEGATIVE RUM

May’s craft rum is here and is an exclusive 1st release for our members from the Two Drifters distillery showcasing their new Two Drifters Signature Rum.

The distillery founders Gemma and Russ Wakeham have over the years experimented with many parts of the rum making process to find ‘their flavour’, and the new profile marries perfectly with orange. The gentle flavours of orange peel and burnt sugar that come from the Madeira casks is a match made in Devon! 

Until now, the Two Drifters Signature Rum has been a Pot Still Rum, diluted to 40% abv and then coloured with burnt sugar. It wasn’t for the purest but Two Drifters we’re only three years old and do not buy in rum, so they couldn’t just bottle a cask rum from the start. This rum showcases what is to come from Two Drifters and going forward the Two Drifters Signature Rum will always be made using Madeira casks. 

Two Drifters have an amazing new look since showcasing their Spiced Rum in 2020. They have awards, are exporting to over 12 countries, are on the shelves of renowned British stores and served in some of the best bars, have awesome employees and are B Corp Certified. So far Two Drifters have removed over 16 tonnes of CO2 permanently from the air with their carbon negative footprint. Fantastic story and a great read in #rumspiration_magazine

Further into May’s box;

x1 @twodriftersrum Signature Rum 40% ABV
x1 @punchydrinks peach Ginger & Chai
X1 @frobishersjuices Cherry Juice
x1 @angosturauk Aromatic Bitters 44.7% ABV

Steve The Barman

Watch Us On YouTube

By May 11, 2022 0

Meet The Maker Meets YouTube

Now you can watch us on YouTube. Since introducing monthly Meet The Maker events at the beginning of 2021 we have been exploring how we can enhance your experience. So we flicked through our rolodex of contacts and landed on Steve The Barman – ‘a lairy Bartender of 27 years, we found on YouTube, who likes Rum’. With Steve there are no right or wrong questions so we know he will bring the right mix of fun and knowledge when hosting our rum partners, unboxing our surprise rums and re-creating our cocktails of the month.

So Who is Steve the Barman?!

  • YouTuber
  • Rum Expert (In Training)
  • Epic Hen Party Cocktail Masterclasses (up to x15)
  • Proud Cornishman residing in South Cambridgeshire!

Steve tells us ‘Covid was interesting for him!’ Transitioning his Business from In-Person Events, being the UK’s No1* Hen Party Cocktail Masterclass entertainer, to YouTuber! He’s been uploading consistently to YouTube since 2017. But that very first weekend of Lockdown 1.0, his Channel exploded, ‘now my claim to fame is the most viewed Pornstar Martini person on the interwebs!’ And now he generates in excess of 350,000 views a month over his 5 Channels.

In Summer 2021, Steve decided to niche his main YouTube Channel and focus on his True Passion. RUM. He says ‘I wanted to embark on a Rum journey and take as many people along for the ride as possible. Focusing on Rums under £50! And that is what his YouTube Channel is now. Rum. (and Spiced Rums…but mainly proper Rum)’.

We hope you join us in giving Steve a warm welcome to our community and don’t forget to watch us on YouTube. Our pilot will be aired live 15 May at 8pm and we hope you can join us.

Keep an eye on our socials and magazine for future episodes.
