More About Idle Assembly Rum

Idle Assembly Rum was inspired by the time founder David Flint Wood spent in Dunmore Town on Harbour Island in the Bahamas, where he lived for almost thirty years. There used to be a sign there at Government Dock containing a list of rules and regulations, including one that states there should be 'no loafing or idle assembly'. Hence the name of this rum, which was made for those who do want to idle in the sun, drinking rum.

The spirit itself is a blend of rums crafted by a third-generation family of rum blenders in Colombia, who pulled together rums from Trinidad, the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, and Panama aged in bourbon white oak barrels for between 5 and 20 years. It's a tour of the Caribbean and beyond in a bottle. Speaking of which, there are just 6,500 bottles available from the first batch of Idle Assembly.

Meet the Producer, Idle Assembly

Idle Assembly

Style: Distillery

Idle Assembly is blended Caribbean rum dressed up with the sort of old-school elegance that makes you immediately assume somebody involved owns at least one very expensive leather chair.

The rum itself pulls together spirit from Trinidad, the Dominican Republic, Venezuela and Panama, all aged in ex-bourbon casks before blending in Colombia. Which sounds complicated, but mostly translates into a really smooth rich style with vanilla, dried fruit, soft spice and enough oak to keep things interesting without turning bitter.

There’s a proper classic rum-drinker energy to it. Less tropical cocktail chaos, more slow sipping and pretending you understand cigars. Even the bottle looks like it should already be sitting in a gentleman’s club somewhere beside a globe-shaped drinks cabinet.

What’s nice though is that it never becomes overly sweet or fake tasting the way some “premium” rum brands do. The blend keeps things dry enough to stay balanced, with caramel, toasted oak and molasses all sitting together pretty naturally.

Works well neat, works well in an Old Fashioned, probably works alarmingly well when you accidentally pour much more than intended while saying “just a small one”.

Very much a fireside sort of spirit.
