House of Elrick Spiced Rum

A rich and warming Rum blend, made in Scotland.

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 Spiced Rum is a blend of Caribbean light Rum, including Rum from the Dominican republic and medium ester Rum from Jamaica. The stunning hue comes from caramel coloring. The blend is then finished with a special spice mix they created: blood orange flavoring and the finest spices, including ginger, cinnamon, black peppercorns, cubeb, nutmeg, and caraway. For the unique Scottish touch, purified water is used for blending.

How to savor this stunning beauty? Add lots of ice and your favorite light mixer. Garnish with orange zest and enjoy.
