Product Information

Well, this one’s pretty easy. You simply have to use your senses and a bit of logic. Ask yourself these simple questions: The best spiced rums are built on honesty and natural ingredients. And that's exactly what we do. Our spiced rum production is based on the use of exclusively natural high-end ingredients. And no need to worry about it tasting like a sugary soda like some companies make it - we use just the right amount of spices to give you the perfect balance of flavour. You don't need to be a skilled bartender to work with rum, which is maybe why it's such a popular choice among partygoers. The origins and the history of rum - how did this all begin? Let’s be honest though, not everyone would be able to finish a big portion of a rich and creamy dessert in hot weather, so if you’re after a light and refreshing treat for adults, then search no more. Rum-infused ice cream is the ultimate choice for the summer. It can be enjoyed by itself, used as a base for a Banana Foster or even mixed with a shot of espresso for an affogato with a twist. For instance, if you take a gentlemen-favourite Old-Fashioned and substitute bourbon with dark rum, you get an incredibly complex and aromatic drink. On a hotter day, try a more refreshing variation with Rum Moscow Mule. The combination of rum, lime juice, and ginger beer is so fantastic, you would be making seconds before even finishing the first serving. Mix it up with a SLY DOG twist

If you have less than half a bottle of rum laying around and you’re going away for a few months, you better take care of that baby. Here’s a handy tip from us to you: simply pour the liquid into a smaller bottle, seal it nicely, and you’re good to go! That way you can rest assured that there’s no danger to your treasure as it will not risk being affected by the oxygen. Or better yet, just get yourself a bunch of SLYtastic 5cl mini bottles to save yourself the hassle.

First up, rum is made of fermented and distilled sugar cane. It's not inherently sweet, but it can evoke the taste of sugar, caramel or molasses, depending on how it's made.

Then, some distillers go crazy by ageing it in heavily charred bourbon barrels to deepen its colour and intensify the taste, thus creating the cult-favourite dark rum, or by adding sweet spices and other ingredients to the concoction like a combination of cinnamon and orange peel for example. Bruce and Louis Goddard-Watts , the masterminds behind this venture, were huge fans of spiced rum. But they knew that creating the best Caribbean rum would require some serious expertise. So, they teamed up with the best rum gurus and flavour geniuses in the industry. The result? A responsibly sourced, all-natural rum that will blow your mind (and your taste buds).

Since we only use natural ingredients, our rum stands out among others, and our flavours are unparalleled. We source from top-notch distilleries in the Dominican Republic and Jamaica, creating a blend of smooth and warm characteristics with a complex flavour profile.

Gold rum is more flavourful than white rum, but not as strongly-flavoured as dark rum. Coughs and colds are rife during the winter months - but many find that drinking rum helps ease their symptoms. This is because rum has antibacterial properties which means rum consumption can help a common cold and soothe sore throats; others also find it can ease muscle pain and helps them relax (particularly important during the busy festive season!). However, any health benefits are associated with moderate consumption - as with all alcoholic beverages, it is important to drink responsibly.
