Ableforth’s Rumbullion! Navy-Strength

Rumbullion is Ableforth's spiced rum, bottled by Atom Supplies at a bold navy strength 57%. This is a flavoured, infused style rather than a straight aged rum, leaning on a baking-spice botanical mix carried by a Caribbean molasses base, and the honest framing is festive and overtly spiced rather than dry.

The nose is all confectionery, ginger, clove and cinnamon, the palate brings clove, sweetness, caramelised notes and ginger, and the finish stays spicy and clove-driven with a strong, warming push. Cardamom, orange and vanilla round out the mix, and at this proof the spice arrives with real intensity. It is a powerful, sweet, Christmas-cake kind of rum that comes into its own in a navy punch or a winter cocktail, where its bold spicing and strength shine. Anyone expecting an unflavoured sipper should know upfront that this is a spiced rum through and through.
