DISCOVER THE AUTHENTIC TASTE OF BRITISH RUM WITH V RUM
WHAT IS BRITISH (OR ENGLISH STYLE) RUM?
British rum is a modern evolution of the original Caribbean rums of the 17th century. It draws on hundreds of years of distilling practices and naval history to produce a spirit that is uniquely refined and delicious while still retaining the lively, island character of its predecessors.
Most British (or English) rum is made using pot stills and locally refined molasses, creating a flavour profile influenced by our own island environment.

Caribbean and British rum use the same or similar ingredients and processes, but are distilled in different parts of the world. Caribbean rum is distilled in the islands of the Caribbean, where rum was invented. British rum is distilled right here in the UK, where we have a long tradition of rum making and distribution. The difference in environment produces unique flavours and each has its own character.
