Salcombe Island Street Rum

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.

• There are sweet notes of soft brown sugar, rum baba cake, toasted coconut, spiced compote, and a hint of pineapple on the nose
• Followed by flavours of gingerbread cake, mince pie mix, and warming vanilla with an underlying fresh pineapple on the palate
• The finish is rich and lingering with flavours of pecan nuts and a subtle floral sweetness

Serve as an Island Street Ginger. Add 50ml of Salcombe Rum Island Street with 150ml premium ginger ale or beer. Serve in a highball glass over plenty of ice. Garnish with a slice of lime.
