House of Elrick Dark Rum

A uniquely Scottish Rum blend.

House of Elrick sits tight in Aberdeen in the idyllic Scottish Lowlands. This is a small batch and artisanal Spirits company that was established in the 1700s, which was the height of the enlightenment era. With their selection of fine, hand-crafted Gins and Spirits and inspired by a radical shift against the ‘norm’, they quickly became the centre for artists and poets who enjoyed a glass (or two) of London Dry Gin over exchanges of their philosophies. Today, House of Elrick still gets their water from Loch Ness and they use 8 carefully selected botanicals in their Gins. They also still boast a beautiful handmade Scottish copper still known as “Charlie” after Bonnie Prince Charlie to make their single shot Spirit, which allows them to control the production.

House of Elrick Dark Rum is a blend of Caribbean light Rums, mostly from the Dominican Republic. One forth of the blend are 3-5 YO Caribbean Rums and one fort comes from medium ester Rum from Jamaica. A Scottish touch was added using purified Scottish water. The premium Spirit was then colored with caramel to achieve its stunning hue. The result is a bright, fresh, and fragrant Rum, packed with rich and warming notes.

How to best savor it? They recommend you make your House of Elrick Dark Rum drink with lots of ice and you favorite light mixer.
