About this deal

The season of heavy rains and gloomy days is officially over, so let’s celebrate the good times by getting creative together! What could be better than a nice bonding experience with some delicious, award-winning spiced rum this summer? The latter ones are technically referred to as spiced rums, and the right proportions and quality of the added ingredients can easily earn the status of the “best rum in UK” or even worldwide. If you're not clued up on the world of rum, the different varieties can be a little confusing. First up, rum is made of fermented and distilled sugar cane. It's not inherently sweet, but it can evoke the taste of sugar, caramel or molasses, depending on how it's made.

To really experience the smooth, complex flavour of SLY DOG Spiced Rum, we highly recommend serving it straight up over ice. That being said, it pairs exceptionally well with classic mixers such as cola, tonic, ginger beer and ginger ale (yes, they are different). If you have less than half a bottle of rum laying around and you’re going away for a few months, you better take care of that baby. Here’s a handy tip from us to you: simply pour the liquid into a smaller bottle, seal it nicely, and you’re good to go! That way you can rest assured that there’s no danger to your treasure as it will not risk being affected by the oxygen. Or better yet, just get yourself a bunch of SLYtastic 5cl mini bottles to save yourself the hassle.So, considering that rum is a distilled alcohol, it’s safe to say that it shouldn’t expire that easily, right? Well, yes but it wouldn’t hurt to follow a few ground rules and precautions to help prolong the quality and shelf life of this heavenly drink. How to store rum It’s a perfect combo: you support small businesses and get the treatment you know you deserve with cleverly designed products consisting of top-quality ingredients - something that the big fish of this business often overlook for the sake of quantity! Don’t believe us? We dare you to see for yourself with the 20cl Sly Dog gift set that consists of our flavoured rum of course, but also artisan fiery ginger beer and barrel aged cola. Trust us, these are the mindblowing flavours that you won’t find just anywhere! Rum is an alcoholic drink attained by fermenting sugar cane juice or molasses into a clear spirit. This process results in what we all know and love - white rum.

If the answer to at least one of them is yes then the chances are, your rum is spoiled and it’s best to discard the liquid. While we as human beings need air and light to stay alive, when it comes to alcohol, they can become its enemy. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and oxygen starts to break down the liquid’s molecules releasing astringent flavours. These logical steps apply to almost any other hard liquor in your home bar, so if you follow them, you will be able to enjoy your alcoholic drinks at any point. Does rum go off? Then, some distillers go crazy by ageing it in heavily charred bourbon barrels to deepen its colour and intensify the taste, thus creating the cult-favourite dark rum, or by adding sweet spices and other ingredients to the concoction like a combination of cinnamon and orange peel for example.

Dark rum is usually made of caramelised sugar or molasses. It's aged in wooden barrels, which are often made of oak, and sometimes charred for an even stronger flavour. Dark rum is deep brown in colour, and has the strongest flavour of all rums. Great chefs aren’t afraid to use alcohol in the kitchen, and thanks to rum’s broad flavour spectrum, it could be an ideal addition to practically any recipe. You can use all kinds of spiced rums to create a wide array of dishes: from rum-based salad dressings, BBQ- sauces and fish courses to numerous baked goods and even soups. You don't need to be a skilled bartender to work with rum, which is maybe why it's such a popular choice among partygoers. The origins and the history of rum - how did this all begin? If we haven't already conveyed to you the sly deliciousness of our rum, here's a few more reasons why we think you should give it a shot. Our own SLY DOG spiced rum is made using premium Caribbean spiced rum that's infused with our top-secret blend of spices and is aged for 3 years in ex-bourbon barrels. Since we only use natural ingredients, our rum stands out among others, and our flavours are unparalleled. We source from top-notch distilleries in the Dominican Republic and Jamaica, creating a blend of smooth and warm characteristics with a complex flavour profile.
