Our Rum

Urban Rhino African Spiced Rum is a contemporary-styled spiced rum, created using a blend of techniques.

First a smooth column-distilled rum imported from the Caribbean is redistilled with cloves, nutmeg and allspice, which brings these botanicals into sharp focus. We then steep ginger, cassia bark, tonka bean, orange, and our super special African ingredient - baobab fruit, allowing the full flavour of these botanicals to infuse into the spirit at their own leisure.

Finally, a little bit of caramel sweetness is added to help create a luxurious, drawn-out finish.

Tasting Notes

Appearance – Clear, medium gold.

Aroma – Medium (+), fresh and citrussy with warm baking spices.

Palate – Medium sweetness. Pronounced intensity. The spirit has a silky texture with peppery notes on the tongue. Initial orange and ginger-warmth hits at the front of the palate and fills the mouth. Ginger is then joined by baking spices, which are cut through by lighter citrus-notes. The finish is medium to medium (+) in length with some complexity. Light, sweet floral vanilla presents itself towards the end, whilst a subtle earthiness builds as time goes on.
