Discover much, much more to Rum than the mass production favourites. Bristol Classic Rum aims to only source and bottle single still or single estate spirits. After careful maturation, all are then bottled at relatively high strength between 43% - 47%, which is considered by the Trade to be the optimum for tasting and enjoying fine spirits. Many of our Rums have been aged in specially-selected casks, drawing on the different benefits offered by woods such as Port, Madeira, ex-Bourbon white oak and new French oak.
