Hawksbill Caribbean Spiced Rum, 70cl - A rum with a cause - Helping to save the Hawksbill turtle

Product Information

Stout and aquavit may not seem like the most likely of spirits companions, but Nordic drinks producer Anora Group combined the two last year. Anora Group collaborated with Swedish brewery Omnipollo to create a limited edition OP Anderson Aquavit blended with stout distillate. I wanted to create a brand that was passionate about bringing people together. We believe alcoholic and non-alcoholic wine can sit side by side, enhancing any occasion for those choosing to drink - or not. I am looking forward to being a part of a new and burgeoning sector in an incredibly welcoming industry."

Baijiu is the biggest‐selling spirit category in the world, though much of this comes from China and other Asian markets. According to Buffalo Trace, baijiu accounts for around 31% of spirits volume globally, citing 2019 data from IWSR Drinks Market Analysis. Produced in small batches by Kylin Spirits Group, the baijiu used to make Kylin Duality of Spirits is said to be Luzhou Lajiao’s most prestigious product. It is made from organic red sorghum, which is fermented in a pit, distilled, then matured.Perfectly paired with a light tonic or in a Breakfast Martini or Grapefruit Cooler, the leftover fruit and juices from the grapefruit vodka are distributed to bars across Manchester, ensuring zero waste. Uniting the very best Caribbean Rums sourced from Guyana and Trinidad, we bring together the very best rums from across the Caribbean and combine that with a unique combination of spices including vanilla, raisin, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and sea salt. Biodynamic producers see each farm as a self‐supporting system, and implement specific techniques accordingly. The whiskey is 50% ABV. Each small batch of the grapefruit serve contains the peel of 300 freshly peeled grapefruits, macerated in alcohol for three days and then distilled at low temperatures creating a delicate balance of citrus sweetness with a drier, bitter pithiness.

With rum gaining momentum in the spirits world , its growing popularity means the spirit is now often the tipple of choice, for those looking for an experimental, flavoursome twist. Responding to this shift, Hawksbill is the newest spiced rum to enter the scene, introducing tropical Caribbean influence onto the market. Exclusively focused on alcohol-free wines, Wednesday’s Domaine has taken dealcoholized wines from the La Mancha region of Spain and blended them with natural flavours to maintain body, flavour, aroma and complexity.We are thrilled to announce the launch of our brand new Caribbean spiced rum, which has more than just impeccable taste on its agenda. The mash bill was made in partnership with Pernod Ricard’s Firestone & Robertson Distillery in Texas. The spirit drink marries a straight Bourbon, matured for four years in toasted American oak, with a distillate made from red savina habanero chillies. The liqueur initially offered five flavours: coffee caramel fudge, cinnamon sugar cookie, orange blossom, ginger rum and honey, and classic oats. However, the range is fully customisable.

Wednesday's Domaine founder Luke Hemsley said: “Whilst I love a glass myself and wine is undoubtedly at the heart of so many joyous occasions, it doesn’t always pair well with a busy lifestyle. Handcrafted using natural ingredients and distilled under pressure, Spirit of Manchester master distiller, Seb Heeley and head distiller, Mat Duthie, crafted the new premium vodkas through innovative, small batch methods where every ingredient plays a key role in the flavour profile. Pineapple and mango cores are steeped in Caribbean white rum for at least eight weeks. Fruit distillate was then blended with one‐ and three‐year‐old Caribbean rums, before being bottled at 38.8% ABV. In January 2021, east London‐based producer Devil’s Botany became the city’s first absinthe distillery. GSM is bottled at 37.9% ABV, and is limited to 500 bottles. Aidan Shaw, co‐distiller, said: “We all love wine‐based gins. We think it’s a really cool way that we can tie in what we do as distillers to another part of the industry that is so profound here in South Australia.”

Rum Masters 2021

In addition, the new flavours support the endangered turtles, after which the brand is named, by donating 10% of the profits from every bottle sold to the Barbados Sea Turtle Project, a conservation project set up to help protect endangered and critically endangered sea turtles and their habitats. Hawksbill added Mango and Pineapple spiced rums to its portfolio, both made from excess fruit that would have otherwise been discarded. The brand hoped the bottlings would help to “stamp out food wastage”. Pernod Ricard and the creator of Monkey 47 gin, Alexander Stein, put a spicy twist on Bourbon with the making of Horse with No Name. The French spirits firm teamed up with entrepreneur Stein to launch the spirit – a habanero chilli‐laced spirit drink made from Bourbon. The brand’s name derives from its mission – we have partnered with the Barbados Sea Turtle Project, a charity whose work aims to recover marine turtle populations. 10% of the profits from Hawksbill sales will go directly towards turtle conservation projects in the Caribbean, helping to protect the environment of the Hawksbill Turtle and preserve its future.
