ISLAND DARK RUM
While our story progresses, our family distillery continually grows. So too does our product range of fine spirits. Filled with interest and ambition, we understand that perfection takes time. Releasing Rum from the Isle of Barra has always been an interest and goal of ours. And now the time is right for us to explore this spirit.
ISLAND BORN, FEARLESS SPIRIT.
Island Dark Rum is a premium Scottish dark rum infused with a host of botanicals on our remote island home, the Isle of Barra.
Our rum is infused with five key botanicals: hand-harvested local carrageen seaweed, cloves, cardamom, coconut, and orange peel which contribute to its distinctive maritime character.
On the nose, Island Dark Rum presents inviting aromas of coconut and clove, followed by a crisp, fresh coastal influence. The palate is rich with flavours of coconut and spice, balanced by a clean, dry mouthfeel. The finish is long and complex, with a warm, aromatic touch of cardamom.
Island Dark Rum can be enjoyed neat to fully appreciate the depth of flavour or mixed with ginger ale, complemented by orange slices to enhance the coconut, citrus, caramel, and spice notes. It also serves as an excellent base for classic rum cocktails like a Mojito, or a twist on the classic Old Fashioned.
Bottled at 38% ABV in eco-friendly glass made from 52% recycled materials, the presentation of our rum is as thoughtfully designed as its flavour.
The label features a bespoke, hand-marbled design by artist Jemma Lewis, created using carrageen seaweed as a thickening agent, further emphasising our island’s natural influence.
Barra Atlantic Gin
The adventurous spirit of Barra people inspires our unique gin. Our main botanical, carrageen seaweed, is collected wild on the shores of the Isle of Barra. We want to create something that not only we can be proud of but that the wider Barra community can be proud of, giving back to our thriving island home.
Our award-winning Barra Atlantic Gin is now available in Waitrose & Partners branches across the UK. Our Island Spirit from the Outer Hebrides has been chosen for distribution by a UK-wide supermarket. Check our stockist map for your local Waitrose & share the taste of Barra.
