Twisted Roots Rum Runner Dark Spiced Rum 39.4% 70cl
- Details
Located just outside Bridlington on the East Coast of England, the Twisted Roots Distillery is the only producer of rum in East Yorkshire, and also one of the very few in the entire country actually making rum from scratch, as opposed to buying in spirit from the Caribbean.
Piers Moat founded the small distillery in 2016 and uses dehydrated sugar cane juice from Mauritius along with extremely long fermentation periods with Champagne yeast. The pot still also runs for around 18 hours at a lower temperature, meaning dilution with water is minimal and flavour complexity is maximised.
Before a recent rebranding this was known as 'Winter Spice', because Piers already had a Spiced Rum in his portfolio. But it was quickly established that his 'Spiced' was THAT Spiced, so it's now the Dark Rum and the seasonal Winter Spice is now available all year round as Dark Spiced.
As you might expect originally being a 'Winter' spiced rum there is a distinct element of cloves and dark spices such as nutmeg. But the clove isn't too overpowering, making this a spicy-spiced rum that works all year round. It might still be a bit too clove-y for some people but there's still a good thwack of cinnamon and cinder toffee notes to work alongside, making this a jolly good sipper to warm up with on chilly evenings.
