The first two bottles in the series are now available to the trade with Signature Blend #1 being an unaged blend of Jamaican and Martinique rums which is said to copliment a daiquiri.

Meanwhile Signature Blend #2 focuses on the Mai Tai cocktail and combines Guyana and Jamaican rum and both expressions have been created by rum expert Peter Holland.

“When tasked with creating rums that would be predominantly used in cocktails, I firstly had to think of the style of drinks that I'd like to enjoy, then set about working a blend that stood up to my idea of what the cocktail would taste like,” said Holland.

“I don't like the idea of trying to balance many different rum styles, a situation that overly complicates things. I much prefer the simplicity of two distinct styles working harmoniously together. Each displaying their strengths and contributions to the cocktail.”

Both rums are bottled at 40% abv and Signature Blend #1 and #2 retail at £25.95 and £30.95 respectively.
