For many years I had claimed that I didn’t like rum, until in the summer of 2017, I was given a taste of a truly remarkable rum that tasted like no other I had tried before. I thought perhaps I had made a mistake and went on to try and sample many more rums, starting a new collection to compliment my growing gin cabinet.
I soon discovered, however, that this was a one-off. Although there were some ‘nice’ rums, none of them could match the flavour I experienced that summer night. After some investigation, I was surprised at how few rums are actually produced in England. The majority have their base rum imported from the Caribbean and then add flavouring locally. Surely there was a better way?
In May 2020 just as the world was entering a pandemic, the aviation industry that I work in was severely affected and not knowing if I would ever fly again, with the help and encouragement of my partner Helen, Mother-in-law Theresa and our family, set off on an adventure to create a unique rum that is firmly rooted in Norfolk, using the land's unique offerings to flavour a superior base rum.
Our unique approach has produced a rum that never burns but creates a smooth feeling of warmth with every sip. Finally, a rum that can convert anyone that claims "I don’t like rum", just as it did with me on that night in 2017.
Entirley produced in the UK using traditional methods. All of our rums are tripled distilled in small batch copper alembics.
