Spirit of the Month: October 2018
We choose our Spirit of the Month to highlight some of the greatest spirits in the world. Some of them are age-old classics, some of them are great new releases, but whatever it is, you can be sure that it's something we love. This month we've chosen:
Spiced Rum
Please wait Please waitAn English spiced rum with a real kick of heat that comes from the bird’s eye chilli, roasted ginger and allspice used in its creation. This is a fantastic drink for the colder months and can be used for a spicy twist on classic cocktails – trying it in a Pina Colada, or mixed with sparkling apple juice and a splash of ginger syrup for a refreshing long drink.
Tasting Notes
From the Producer
- A massive hit of toasted coconut, vanilla and molasses. Smooth, rounded, aromatic allspice, a spike of chilli on the tongue and a long, warming ginger finish.

About Burning Barn
History
Burning Barn was created by a Warwickshire farming family after their barn literally burned down in September 2015. As the barn fire was fuelled by sugar, the logical next step was to commemorate the disaster with a pair of rums that reflected the heat and the smoke of the fire.

I have to say it’s got a very different flavour than most spiced rums because of the smokey edge. Not to everyone’s taste. W enjoys trying something different but not on the repeat order list.
