ST IVES ISLAND RUM - CORNISH SPICED RUM
Exclusive to The Rum Company, this premium quality, authentic rum hails from the heart of Saint Ives with its infamous cobbled narrow streets and folklore.
Truly Cornish spiced rum
This spiced rum is inspired by local Cornish folklore of murderous mermaids, forgotten islands and smuggling tunnels that stretched from ’the islands’ mysterious coves to the town’s tavern cellars. Some say pirates would use these caverns to smuggle fruits, spices and rum sourced from the Caribbean to the Tavern owners. It was said that the mermaids beyond the shoreline would prey upon the pirate smugglers.
The finest Caribbean sugar cane is blended, spiced and bottled in the heart of Saint Ives, Cornwall. A classic combination of sweet vanilla, citrus lime and subtle yet well-balanced cinnamon and nutmeg spice.
