Great Taste Award - 2 Stars 2025

Proud winners of a 2-Star Great Taste Award, our Caribbean Rum was recognised by the judges for its balance, depth and versatility.

“Bright notes of caramelised tropical fruit meld with vanilla… beautifully balanced by grassy, vegetal Agricole notes. Oaky vanilla works well with the fruit, leading to a long, dry finish. A pleasing sipper and an exciting cocktail base.”— Great Taste Awards Judges

The panel also praised the rum’s attractive appearance, tropical aromatics of pineapple skin and banana, and how skilfully the ABV was handled, delivering flavour and warmth in equal measure.
