Tasting Notes

•    Colour: Warm, inviting deep amber with brilliant golden highlights.
•    Nose: Highly aromatic and welcoming, releasing layers of sweet burnt brown sugar, rich toffee, and a delicate kiss of Madagascan vanilla pods.
•    Palate: Decadent and exceptionally silky on the tongue. A beautifully balanced middle note of toasted sugar syrup blends with a gentle touch of warming baking spices and creamy butterscotch. The sweetness is perfectly measured, never becoming overbearing.
•    Finish: Smooth, satisfying, and enduringly warm, leaving a gentle hint of dark molasses and velvety caramel lingering at the very back of the throat.

Distilling methods

Honouring time-tested distilling methods, the base spirit is carefully shaped in traditional copper pot stills from rich raw ingredients. This meticulous process ensures that the heavy, full-bodied character of the spirit is preserved before it undergoes aging in charred oak casks. The final liquid is expertly infused with natural caramel to create a beautifully rounded, velvety liqueur that shines across a myriad of serves.

Serving & Cocktail Suggestions

•    The Perfect Neat Serve: Savour it neat at room temperature, or pour it over a few large ice cubes in a rocks glass to allow the complex sugar aromas to unravel gently.
•    Caramel Rum Old Fashioned: Stir 50 ml of Rum Palmarum Caramel with two dashes of aromatic bitters and a splash of soda water over ice. Garnish beautifully with an expressed orange twist.
•    Salted Caramel Espresso Martini: Shake 50 ml of the caramel rum with 25 ml of fresh espresso and 15 ml of coffee liqueur. Shake vigorously with ice, strain into a coupe glass, and finish with a tiny pinch of sea salt on the foam.
•    An Elegant Affogato: Drizzle a generous measure directly over a scoop of premium vanilla bean ice cream or alongside a warm sticky toffee pudding for an elevated liquid dessert.

Food Pairings

Rum Palmarum Caramel serves as a spectacular companion to food, contrasting beautifully with both savoury plates and decadent sweets:
•    Desserts: It pairs phenomenally with apple tarte tatin, chocolate brownies, or pecan pie, where the toasted sugar notes match the baked goods perfectly.
•    Cheeses: Team it with mature blue cheeses like Stilton or Roquefort; the intense saltiness of the cheese offers a magnificent, sophisticated counter-point to the sweet caramel.
•    Savoury Starters: Enjoy a glass alongside rich duck pâté or glazed pork belly strips, where the rum cuts cleanly through the fat while complementing the natural sweetness of the meat.
