Beach House White Spiced

Beach House is a Mauritian brand built around easy tropical drinking, and this White Spiced bottling is a flavoured rum rather than a dry agricole. The base is fresh sugar-cane juice run off a column still, then steered with spice and fruit toward an unmistakably exotic, sweet profile.

Expect lychee, mango, passion fruit and lemon, floral and juicy, with a fresh, fruity finish that leans sweet. This is honest holiday rum, a little cloying taken straight but lively in a cocktail with ice, tonic, a squeeze of grapefruit or lime. Treat it as a mixer rather than a sipper, where its bright, fruity character does exactly the job it was designed for on a warm evening.
