Rum Gifts

We've collected a small but perfectly formed list of bottles that will impress any rum-lover.

What to buy the rum lover

Time to raise a cup of cheer to the rum lover the only way they’ll know how…with rum! Rum is a quintessential tipple of warming winter spice, symbolic of Christmastime and cosy surroundings. For those hunting on behalf of a rum-lover’s palate, let’s unwrap our top picks of yuletide flavour and robust character.

Wrapped up Rum

For a stress-free gift, we’ve got two rums in mind that won’t require any more wrapping…

Look to Ron Zacapa Centenario Sistema Solera 23 for a festive showcase of cherished Christmas complexities. Intricate honeyed butterscotch, spiced oak and raisined fruit makes this a remarkable rum and a standout gift.

Versatile yet delicate, it’s the rum for the discerning drinker no matter if they’re a neat sipper, an on the rocks drinker or a cocktail connoisseur – Ron Zacapa 23 holds its own in any glass. This baroque bottling brings to view the intricacies of the ‘Sistema Solera’ aging process, offering notes of stone fruit and toasted oak in the rums aged between 6 and 23 years. Truly a delicious treat.

Alternatively, look to Mount Gay XO Rum Gift Pack for a beautifully round and complex sipping experience. Vanilla, oak, and spice are in harmony on the nose, while to taste, salted caramel joins the chorus. Dried fruit and clove lead to a dark chocolate and spiced finish, all working in unison to showcase the magic of cask varieties.

Ex-American Whiskey, Bourbon and Cognac casks were used to cement this expression as a brilliant sipping rum and the one we’ll reach for when it’s time to wind down for the evening. If you’re still not persuaded – Mount Gay Rum is one of, if not THE world’s oldest commercial rum distillery, so you can trust you’ve made the right choice with this one.

Cocktail-Loving Rums

Let’s switch it up, swapping neat sipping rums for cocktail cabinet staples. First up – overproof rum!

Plantation O.F.T.D Rum is a new take on the classic style of over-proof rums. Six rum geeks plus one master blender equals a fantastically blended rum to stand up in highproof cocktails. With intense notes of coffee, orange, and plum on the nose, to taste it bursts with caramel cream, chocolate, and vanilla. And we’re not finished – to tie off the serve, expect cinnamon, raisins, nutmeg, oak, and molasses to secure a smoky spiced end.

At 69% ABV try this in a classic Jungle Bird cocktail for a quality backbone and hardworking all rounder.

Any rum lover knows that a great quality white rum is a cocktail cabinet essential. So, we’re recommending a favourite of ours – Veritas White Rum.

This is a delicious white rum that will take a simple Daiquiri to a whole new level. A rum expert’s ears might prick up at the sound of ‘Foursquare’ and ‘Hampden Estate’ and that’s because Veritas is a collaboration of some of the biggest names in the rum game for a legendary staple.

The Jamaican influence in evident on the nose, meaning this will make for aromatic and punchy cocktails, while the Foursquare DNA pushes up to taste. Banana and pineapple offer a fresh end to the finish, which is why this works so well in citrus forward cocktails.

Can we say that we’ve saved our best cocktail staple to last? Of course we can…and they’ve just won the ‘Green Spirit’ award at this year’s International Wine and Spirits Competition too! All the more reason you should give the gift of rum this Christmas.

B-Corp certified; Two Drifters Signature Rum is the ideal choice for those who enjoy a molasses-based pot still rum. Burnt sugar, treacle-like candied orange, brown hints of baked banana and full-bodied flavours characterise this Devon made delight.

Two Drifters Rum makes for a fantastic cocktail workhorse for the home-bartender, so with a little persuasion maybe you’ll get a few Tiki Cocktails like the Zombie or the Piña Colada to say thanks!
