Hattiers Premium Reserve Rum

Product Information

Hattiers was a pending B Corporation for 2 years while the business laid down its foundations and the company officially achieved B Corp Status in November 2020. Take a bar spoon with a flat bottom and use the disc to churn the mixture. You’re looking for a frosting on the outside of the glass so that you know the mix is super cold. Hattiers Rum is now the first British B Corp Rum, and only the second in the world. We join a cohort of over 600 UK B Corps who are reinventing business, by pursuing purpose as well as profit. Hattiers Premium Reserve Rum blends oak aged rums from across the Caribbean and Central America with pure, soft water fro Dartmoor, England. It is delicately balanced by their master blender to be jovial and warm. To receive certification, we had to provide evidence of socially and environmentally responsible practices – including energy supplies, waste and water use, worker compensation, diversity and corporate transparency. Finally, to complete the certification, we have legally embedded our commitment to purpose beyond profit into our company articles.

Although Hattiers has an incredible business ethos, it is important to remember that Hattiers is a Rum company and has won a number of international awards for their blends of Rum! They currently have three key blends of Rum (as well as some other limited-edition releases), these are: Slap the mint leaves in the palm of your hand and add to the bottom of a highball glass. Fill with crushed ice. Add the sugar syrup and fresh lime juice, followed by the rum. The UK’s first B Corp certified rum, Hattiers has a fresh take on the traditional art of rum blending with an uncompromising approach to quality and sustainability. Sourcing fine aged rums from over 25 distilleries around the world, their versatile and accessible blends consist of carefully selected rums married together along with pure Dartmoor water. From the UK’s furthest flung B Corp in the Hebridean Island of Islay, to newly certified B Corp brands changing the way we drink, it was inspiring to learn and connect with like-minded businesses, press, drinks writers, trade and guests.Hattiers achieved an 80.5 score before becoming Certified B Corp and Philip is keen to build on this score with a personal target of increasing the score by 5 points every year.

Founder of the Great British Entrepreneur Awards, Francesca James, said the quality of this year’s entrants exemplified the strength of entrepreneurship across the UK: “The quality of applications is consistently excellent year on year, but we have been especially blown away by the innovation, drive and determination demonstrated this year. Shortlisting from so many inspiring contenders has been more challenging than ever, with many deserving cases put forward and an ever-growing business community thriving across the country.” Here’s to B Corp Month, to committing to using business as a force for good and a huge thank you to all those involved - we can't wait for the next one!

About Hattiers Rum Becoming a B Corp is far from straightforward and Philip and the team had to undertake a rigorous and detailed B Impact Assessment (BIA), a comprehensive questionnaire that determines the company’s impact on their community, employees, the environment and beyond.
