We've partnered with multi-award winning Salcombe Gin to launch Island Street, a new spiced gold rum that celebrates 200 years of the RNLI watching over our shores. 

Famous for carrying fresh fruits and spices back from exotic lands, the locally built 19th century Salcombe Fruiters often ventured to the West Indies to acquire a much sweeter and more potent payload; sugar, molasses and rum.  

In the tropical Caribbean heat, puncheons or hogsheads of this rich spirit were carefully stowed on board these ships and surrounded by coconuts to protect the precious cargo during their perilous journey back across the Atlantic. 

Salcombe Rum ‘Island Street’ is a transatlantic spiced gold rum crafted by Salcombe Distilling Co. by blending single estate gold rum produced in Salcombe with exotic rums and spices from the Caribbean.

Crafted by Salcombe Distilling Co. at their waterside distillery, one of the world’s only distilleries accessible by boat. Drawing influence from the famous 19th century Salcombe Fruit Schooners and their precious cargo, ‘Island Street’ is inspired by the Salcombe Fruiters and intrepid sailors who risked all in pursuit of their cargoes of highly prized pineapples and exotic spices. 

Best served on its own over ice or with a premium ginger ale or beer and a slice of dehydrated pineapple or fresh lime to complement the rich and warming Caribbean spicing of ‘Island Street’. 

 

Tasting notes:

Nose: Soft brown sugar, rum baba cake, toasted coconut, spiced compote, and a hint of pineapple.

Palate: Notes of gingerbread cake, mince pie mix, and warming vanilla with an underlying fresh pineapple. 

Finish: Rich, lingering, marzipan, pecan nuts and floral sweetness. 

Nose, palate, finish in a sentence: There are sweet notes of soft brown sugar, rum baba cake, toasted coconut, spiced compote, and a hint of pineapple on the nose.

The finish is rich and lingering with flavours of pecan nuts, marzipan and a subtle floral sweetness.
