UNIQUE BLACK SPICED
Rum Dhu Black Spiced Rum
Bold, rich, and expertly spiced - a premium Cornish black rum
The Spirit of the Ocean
Rum Dhu was taken from the ocean. From its hidden gullies and kelp forests, deep below the rolling boom of Cornish swells. The howling wind and thunder during squalls. Knuckles pressed white against gunwales on ships out on the blue. Pounding surf against cliffs. Warm nights by the fire with glass in hand whilst storms batter down.
Tasting Notes
Appearance: Deep, rich black with ruby highlights when held to the light
Nose: Aromatic and inviting with notes of vanilla, cinnamon, and all spice. Hints of dark chocolate, lime, and warming ginger create a complex bouquet
Palate: Bold and full-bodied with layers of sweet spice. Rich caramel and toffee mingle with cinnamon, lime, and a touch of black pepper. Subtle notes of coffee and dark fruit add depth
Finish: Long and warming with lingering spice and a smooth, velvety texture
The Spice Blend
Our black spiced rum is infused with a carefully curated selection of premium spices and botanicals, each chosen to create a harmonious balance of warmth, depth, and coastal character:
Vanilla: Provides a sweet, creamy foundation with rich, aromatic notes that soften the spirit and add luxurious smoothness
Cinnamon: Delivers warming sweetness and a gentle heat, creating the backbone of the spice profile with its familiar, comforting character
Ginger: Provides fresh, zesty warmth and a gentle kick that lifts the other spices and adds vibrancy to the palate
Black Pepper: Introduces a subtle savoury edge and gentle heat, balancing the sweetness and adding a sophisticated finish
Lime Peel: Adds bright, citrus zest and fresh aromatic oils that cut through the richness and bring a coastal freshness to the blend
Cardamom: Contributes exotic, floral notes with hints of eucalyptus and mint, adding elegance and aromatic complexity
Golden Syrup: Provides rich, buttery sweetness with caramel undertones that bind the spices together and add velvety body
Pepper Dulse Seaweed: A unique coastal botanical that brings subtle umami depth, mineral notes, and a gentle brininess that connects the rum to its ocean origins
Each ingredient is carefully measured and infused to ensure perfect balance, creating a rum that's bold yet refined, complex yet approachable, and unmistakably Cornish.
