SCOTTISH SPICED Rum: distilled and spiced in Scotland

Our RUM

This Scottish Spiced Rum is not a spirit for the ambivalent. It is strong, it is full-flavoured, it has spice and it has provenance and authenticity. It is targeted at the spirits drinker who doesn't just order a gin, even a new gin, just because everyone is ordering gin. This is for the outgoing, the adventurer, the intelligent and the open-minded treasure seeker.

Tasting it

The 45 is a golden, spiced rum - robust in flavour but also “over-proofed” with an ABV of 45%. This gives our rum an incredible finish without making it overly strong. We spent time perfecting the blend of Scottish botanicals and international spices to create a different kind of flavour profile that works in all settings. That’s why we call it the Spirit of Rebellion.

Drinking it

It is designed to be drunk neat, on ice, with a specialist mixer - a craft cola, a real ginger beer - or as part of a serious cocktail.

Flavour profile

The taste of The 45 combines ginger, vanilla, caramel, orange peel and liquorice (from a Scottish root botanical) with a light, background smokiness. This comes from Scottish smoked seaweed, which gives our rum a faint salinity. This mix of flavours results in a classic “sweet and salty” taste (a version of salted caramel). The 45 is then aged in a bourbon/whisky cask - one that has been used for years in the US bourbon craft and subsequently more years in Scotch whisky distilling. This finish brings together the flavours of Scotland and the USA and in an unfiltered, real rum.
