West Midlands Distillery
A Legacy of Craftsmanship
For three generations, the family has been dedicated to the art of distillation, crafting award-winning spirits that embody ‘passion and heritage’. The journey began in the most unlikely of places - a vintage 1970s caravan purchased off eBay.
“Copper and Craft”
At the heart of the operation lies the essence of tradition and quality: the trio of 100% copper pot Alembic stills, nestled in the picturesque landscapes of the West Midlands. Crafting the finest, hand-crafted, premium bespoke spirits.
WMD Black Spiced Rum
Black Spiced rum, made in the Black Country
A tribute to the rich history of the Black Country and the iconic Birmingham Canal network. Emblazoned with the map of our heritage, each bottle tells a story.
Look out for the WMD HQ and Distillery bar located near “The Cut”.
Dark and robust, our rum is infused with the bold flavours of molasses, treacle, and caramel, balanced by the velvety smoothness of Madagascan vanilla and a hint of warming allspice. Whether enjoyed neat, over ice, or mixed with your favourite beverage, WMD Black Spiced Rum promises a journey of indulgence. For a true taste sensation, try it in a Dark N Stormy, paired with fiery ginger beer and a splash of lime.
WMD Hell Smoked Rum
For the adventurous palate, a daring concoction that defies convention. Packaged in a rugged, hand-stamped distressed brown bag, each bottle exudes character and authenticity.
Gnarly & unapologetic
Barrel-aged rum rested in peated ex-Islay whisky casks on a bed of smoked fresh chillis and cacao nibs sourced from @beanucaco, this rum is a symphony of bold flavours. Infused with Scotch Bonnet, Birds Eye, Chipotle, and Ancho chillis, as well as hints of Triple Chocolate Stout, it delivers a harmonious blend of smoke, chocolate, and spice.
“One hell of a rum…like being stung in the face by a bee”
Not for the faint-hearted, WMD Hell Smoked Rum promises an unforgettable sensory experience. Expect waves of smoke bellows across the palate with decadent chocolate followed by fresh chilli spice giving a BBQ character.
A face melting blend of fire and smoke, not for the feint hearted.
For a truly immersive adventure, savor it in a Rum Old Fashioned - a tantalizing blend of WMD Hell Smoked Rum, orange bitters, and Demerara sugar, garnished with a twist of orange peel.
Join on a journey of discovery as WMD Distillery continue to push the boundaries of craft distillation, one bottle at a time. Experience the essence of the West Midlands in every sip, and raise a toast to tradition, innovation, and the pursuit of excellence.
