Spirit Master: Infusionist Fig, Honey & Cinnamon Rum Liqueur

As we’re in the midst of the festive season, SB puts the spotlight on a rum liqueur ideal for at-home entertaining.

Infusionist Fig, Honey & Cinnamon Rum Liqueur is available from Aldi stores in the UK

Every week, SB celebrates some of the top-scoring Master medallists from The Global Spirits Masters blind-tasting competition. With Christmas and New Year’s Eve fast approaching, we thought what better way to toast the occasion than with a festive tipple.

Infusionist Fig, Honey & Cinnamon Rum Liqueur was one of eight Master medallists during the competition

During The Liqueur Masters 2019, which was held in October 2019 at Indian restaurant and bar 1947 London, a team of tasters assessed the breadth of the category, from cassis to cream and everything in between. In total, the competition awarded eight Master medals to entrants. 

Supermarket chain Aldi UK stormed to success with its Infusionist Fig, Honey & Cinnamon Rum Liqueur. The expression was the only Master medallist in the Own Label flight, which assessed the quality of liqueurs bottled for supermarkets.

Packed with Christmassy flavours, the liqueur was praised for having a “lovely mix of fruitiness and spice”. The 20% ABV rum liqueur is recommended served over ice or in a cocktail.

During the competition, Aldi UK also secured three Gold medals for its Infusionist Caramel & Hazelnut Rum Liqueur, Ballycastle Strawberry & Cream Liqueur and Specially Selected Irish Cream.

Infusionist Fig, Honey & Cinnamon Rum Liqueur is priced at £9.99 (US$13) per 500ml bottle and is available from Aldi stores across the UK.
