Starting with Appleton Estate

Flavour Profile: On the palate, there are rich flavours of orange, apricot, oak, vanilla & molasses. It has a warming finish with notes of cinnamon, caramel & vanilla.

The Signature Blend is an iconic blend of 15 aged rums that are all distilled at the Appleton Estate in Jamaica. On average the rums used are around 4 years old. Whilst some people enjoy this as a sipping rum, it’s also delicious mixed with Ginger Beer.

Wray & Nephew

Notes: Pineapple, overripe banana, light vegetal funk and a hint of brown sugar dominate this fragrant rum.

Finish: Like the palate, it leads off-dry and slightly bitter, like a potent coffee or dark chocolate, before fading into lighter notes of fruit and coconut. The aftertaste is long and lingering.

Featured in our This is the Wray cocktail and our Ting Wray bomb, or if you’re feeling daring, order it neat for a shot of the good stuff.

Sagatiba

Sagatiba Cristalina is made with a modern and innovative distillation process (the first brand to produce this way!). ​The result is a pure, crystalline liquid, which fits well with any cocktail, including the traditional caipirinha.

Want to stick with tradition? Order with a tropical or spicy caipirinha!
