SB Advent: V Rum
In today’s SB Advent, we bring you tidings of great joy in the form of an experience pack from British brand V Rum.
Crafted in a sustainable distillery in Hampshire, England that operates using 100% renewable electricity, V Rum produces three products: Spiced Rum, Premium White Rum, and Overproof White Rum.
The spiced rum is described as ‘sumptuously sweet’, the white rum as ‘crystal-clear’, and the overproof as ‘bold and powerful’. And with each expression bringing a unique flavour and profile to the table, V Rum has decided to group them together in smaller sizes, in an experience pack ideal for gifting over the holiday season.
Premium White Rum is bottled at 40% ABV, Overproof White Rum sits at 60%, and Spiced Rum at 37.5%, with the miniature bottles packaged in 50ml aluminium bottles. The pack can be purchased for £14.99 (US$19) from the brand’s website.
The small format also means that it could fit snugly inside a Christmas stocking – and who’s going to complain about waking up to three bottles of rum on Christmas morning?
Once the pack has been opened, you can then crack on with making a few festive cocktails, which the brand has shared in recipes below.
Looking for more spirits inspiration to see you through Christmas and into 2025? Take a look at Friday’s SB Advent.
