About this deal

is one of the most popular types of rum on the market. The flavours that give spiced rum its name are varied and include cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla, to name a few.

When the base rum is ready, they add orange peel and carefully selected spices including ginger, cinnamon, cloves and vanilla. Finally, the rum is transferred into ex-bourbon whisky casks where it mellows and matures. It sounds delicious, right? How has the journey been from conception to final product? Barbadian rums have earned their place on the global stage, recognised for their superior quality and distinctive character. The industry on the island is pushing for a Geographical Indication (GI) status, which would protect the authenticity of Barbados rum and ensure that any product labelled as such meets specific production standards. This move towards a GI not only seeks to preserve the traditional methods and history but also to promote sustainable practices and the welfare of those who are a part of the rum-making process. At Crusty Juggler they live and breathe the Cornish Coast. They care about our environment and the communities that depend on it. That’s why for every bottle sold, they'll make a donation to their favourite marine conservation charity: Surfers Against Sewage. ` The concept of terroir, often associated with wine, is equally relevant to rum. The specific environmental factors, including the soil type, climate, and topography of Barbados, influence the characteristics of the sugarcane and, by extension, the rum. This sense of place is evident in the final product, which can vary from parish to parish.

After distillation, Barbadian rum is often aged in oak barrels, a process that imbues the liquid with colour, complexity, and a host of flavours that can include notes of vanilla, coconut, spice, and toffee. The ageing process in Barbados is accelerated due to the tropical climate, which intensifies the interaction between the wood and the spirit.

Sugarcane was introduced to the Caribbean by the Portuguese in the 16th century, where it flourished thanks to its fertile soils and tropical climate. The production of sugar from cane brought with it molasses, and it was the fermentation of this byproduct that gave birth to rum in the 17th century.
