Island Slice Single Dark Rum Cocktail

Before we dive into why you should top up your glass with this dark beauty, let us indulge you in a bit of a back story to how Island Slice Single Dark Rum came to be.

This rum was developed, on paper, while our founder, Sylvester was thinking about the history of his father’s and forefather’s Rum drinks that date back throughout four generations of rum makers. Well-rounded, laid-back, dark, and mysterious. The perfect partnership combines the 200-year-old taste of St Lucia with flavours from Scotland’s finest specially selected Speyside whisky casks.

Now if St Lucia & Scotland sound like an intriguing mix your taste buds are curious to try, then we suggest a cocktail using our strawberry witch kings syrup, ginger beer, lime juice & ice to pack a punch in the summer heat. Don’t forget the snacks and kick back with some grooves from our DJ of the month music selection.

You can purchase this subscription box from our previous months collection here

How would you pair this dark mysterious rum? let us know on the socials #craftrumclubuk. Cheers

July’s Surprise Box of Craft Rum Featuring IslandSlice Single Dark Rum

IslandSlice, where rum and fun collide

Having a craft or skill is a special thing to be cherished, without it we wouldn’t have works of art like the Mona Lisa, incredible engineered structures like the Clifton Suspension Bridge and beautiful places like Kew Gardens to while away sunny afternoons with family and friends. Rum is no exception, master distillers use science, artistry, knowledge, and their senses & passion to create a delicious rum and we are excited to share IslandSlice Single Dark Rum with you.

Meet Sylvester Herman, founder of IslandSlice, a fourth-generation rum distiller from St Lucia whose passion for his craft brought him to the shores of Scotland. Rum is his passion, and his family has been involved in its production for generations. Rum was pioneered by plantation workers, they found that it numbed the pain of whippings and helped see them through the constant heat of the blazing Caribbean sun. IslandSlice rum is produced from scratch using the ingredients, techniques and processes passed down from Sylvester’s ancestors. 

More recently Sylvester has joined forces with Dwight Jones, founder of RumTheShow.com, to create Island Brother Consulting. Dwight is a rum expert and a Rummelier® of the Royal Rum Society and he has been providing private rum tasting experiences, masterclasses and cocktail making experiences that you can enjoy in person at home or virtually. Together they will be producing rums that capture the essence of this playful spirit and pay homage to its rich heritage.

IslandSlice proudly offers an enticing laid-back dark rum, an embodiment of indulgence and sophistication. The Dark Rum offers a Toffee nose and taste, aged cedar humidor notes on the palate, smooth creaminess with a warm finish. Well balanced influence of specially selected Speyside whisky

Flamboyant Vieux Rhum – February’s Box

Flamboyant Vieux Rhum

In February’s surprise box of rum and continuing to explore agricole rhums, we have sourced a unique product from Mauritius – Flamboyant Vieux Rhum.  This blended rum is aged for up to seven years in used Bourbon oak casks. Golden in colour due to oak maturation, the rum has no artificially added colours. This is a fantastic sipping rum with a big, smooth, well-rounded nose and palate. Unfortunately, there is no promotional material available from the distillery, but we think it speaks for itself.  On the front of the bottle is a picture of the tree ‘Flamboyant’ whose flower is the national flower of Mauritius. Flamboyant comes into flower during the time of independence in March when the trees lining the sides of the roads in great avenues are ablaze with brilliant red colour.

Mauritius is a relative newcomer to global rum markets. For centuries, colonial governments in Mauritius frowned on using sugar cane for rum, because refined sugar fetched much better profits. Until 2006, Mauritius produced only small amounts of rum from molasses. The government then lifted a ban on distilling from sugar cane juice to produce agricole rum. The lifting of the ban has brought in new players, and encouraged older operations to diversify.

 

In February’s rum box;

FLAMBOYANT VIEUX RHUM 70cl – 40% alc./vol

PEARONA Sparkling pear drink 33cl x2

PLUIE d’OREE Ti Pois chilli 100g

AH PING Cravatte Sale 150g

 

The Expressions

Flamboyant Vieux Rhum is a golden yellow with a bright clear appearance. On the nose you can pick out complex notes such as biscuit, cake, raisin, banana cake, vanilla, cinnamon and a touch of orange zest. Tasting the Rhum leaves you with a dry sense with a subtle touch of burnt fruit, raisin and almost a coffee note.

Flamboyant Rhum brings a small touch of Mauritian life to the UK. Mix with crushed ice and Pearona to taste in a highball glass and experience the local drink of choice.

 

Cheers,
