A Rum as Dark as the Deep
Rummers Black Spiced Rum pays tribute to the darkest chapters of rum’s seafaring story - when barrels of deep, molasses - heavy rum were stashed below deck, slowly ageing in oak as ships crossed stormy seas.
Historically, the darkest rums were often reserved for the boldest drinkers - naval officers, privateers, and pirates who mixed the thick, inky liquid with spices to mask the harshness and elevate the flavour. Sailors in the British Royal Navy would occasionally spice their own rations with whatever they could find - pepper, citrus peel, cinnamon, or even tobacco. This was the earliest version of what we now call spiced rum.
Meanwhile, in the Caribbean and ports like Port Royal and Bridgetown, black rums - often called “kill-devil” - became known for their power and character. They were unrefined, fiery, and rich with the molasses and char of the barrel - a true spirit of rebellion and survival.
Rummers Black Spiced Rum honours that tradition: rich Caribbean molasses, infused with warming spices, smoky oak, and a dash of danger. It’s not just a drink - it’s a throwback to the black-hearted sailors
