Black Tears Dry Spiced Rum
Black Tears Dry Spiced Rum is a Cuban-crafted spirit that blends premium rum with native coffee, cacao, and pepper — delivering a bold, dry profile with a distinctive bittersweet edge. Black Tears Dry Spiced Rum is the world’s first spiced rum from Cuba, a country renowned for its rich rum-making heritage. Produced by The Island Rum Company, this unique expression combines Cuban rum with natural infusions of coffee, cacao, and ají dulce — a sweet native pepper — to create a dry, aromatic profile that stands apart from traditional spiced rums. With only 9 grams of sugar per litre, it offers a refined alternative for those seeking complexity without excessive sweetness. Inspired by the iconic Cuban song “Lágrimas Negras,” Black Tears celebrates the emotional depth and cultural vibrancy of the island. Its golden amber hue and smooth texture make it an ideal choice for sipping neat or elevating classic cocktails such as a rum Old Fashioned or a spiced Daiquiri. On the nose, Black Tears opens with warm aromas of cinnamon, nutmeg, and roasted coffee beans, layered with hints of oak and dark chocolate. The palate reveals flavours of caramelised nuts, black tea, and rich cacao, balanced by subtle oak spice and a gentle heat from the ají dulce. The finish is long and warming, with lingering notes of pepper and bittersweet chocolate. Crafted for discerning drinkers, Black Tears Dry Spiced Rum offers a bold yet balanced experience — perfect for those who appreciate the artistry of Cuban rum and the intrigue of dry spice.
Pussers Rum
Pusser’s Rum is presented as an authentic naval‑style rum crafted in keeping with traditional Admiralty specifications. It is known for its depth, character and heritage, appealing to those who appreciate a full‑bodied spirit with genuine maritime roots. The blend is distilled in wooden pot stills, giving it a distinctive richness and a flavour profile that stands apart from modern, lighter rums. Its dark amber colour and bold aroma make it a favourite for sipping, mixing or recreating classic naval cocktails. On the palate it delivers layers of molasses, demerara sugar and warm spices, followed by notes of toffee, dried fruit and a hint of oak from its slow maturation. A subtle smokiness runs through the flavour, adding complexity without overwhelming the natural sweetness. The finish is long, warming and slightly peppery, leaving traces of caramel and spice that linger pleasantly. This characterful rum offers a robust and traditional drinking experience that reflects its storied naval heritage.
