Rum is one of the most diverse and characterful spirits in the world, produced everywhere from the Caribbean and Central America to South America, Europe and beyond. Made from sugar cane molasses or fresh sugar cane juice, rum spans a huge range of styles shaped by production method, climate, fermentation and ageing.

The category includes everything from light and crisp white rum to grassy rhum agricole, rich Jamaican pot still rum, dark Demerara styles and long-aged sipping releases matured in oak barrels. Fermentation techniques, still type and tropical ageing conditions all contribute to the final spirit, creating rums that can range from clean and elegant to intensely funky, fruity and deeply complex.

Our rum range focuses on flavour-forward producers across both traditional and modern styles, including aged Caribbean rum, overproof Jamaican bottlings, agricole rum, spiced rum and barrel-aged sipping releases. Alongside classic distilleries, the collection also includes independent bottlers and smaller producers exploring cask finishing, higher proof bottlings and more terroir-driven expressions of rum.

Expect notes of tropical fruit, vanilla, spice, caramel, fresh sugar cane, smoke and signature Jamaican funk alongside spirits suited to Daiquiris, Mai Tais, Rum Old Fashioneds or slow sipping neat. Whether you prefer elegant column-still rum, heavier pot-still styles or the grassy freshness of rhum agricole, rum remains one of the broadest, most versatile and most rewarding categories in modern spirits.
