Spiced rum, like all rum, is made by distilling sugarcane molasses or juice. The resulting clear liquid can then be aged in wooden barrels, which impart flavour and colour. White rums are typically aged less and filtered, to remove any colour. Gold, red and dark rums are aged for longer, where a darker colour usually signifies more time in the barrel. 

Spiced rums include a magical extra step, usually during aging or just before bottling, where various spices are added which impart a whole range of flavours.

At Red Hills Road we do things a little differently: We add our spices after distillation and allow the rum time to absorb all the wonderful flavours and aromas. We then distil the rum for a third time before it is ‘double-oaked’ on deeply toasted and charred oak.

We can’t tell you exactly what goes into our spiced rum but we are able to tell you Madagascan vanilla, cloves and citrus peel

RHR is extremely versatile and goes beautifully in cocktails and with mixers. For a Jamaican classic, mix Red Hills Road Spiced Rum with ginger beer or ginger ale and add a dash of lime. Or add for a spiced take on the classic mojito. 

Honestly though, we’ll let you in on a little secret, you don’t need to add anything. Red Hills Road is perfect served neat over ice and sipped slowly.
