Spirited Union Spice & Sea Salt

Spice and Sea Salt comes from Spirited Union, an Amsterdam based producer that botanically infuses its rums in the gin tradition rather than relying on heavy maturation. This expression layers warm baking spice with a saline twist, putting it firmly in the flavoured rum camp.

Distilled on a column still and bottled at a soft 38%, it is built for accessibility rather than intensity. The nose is full of gingerbread and sweet spice, and the palate carries nutmeg, vanilla and a distinctly wintry, mulled character, with the sea salt note adding a savoury counterpoint that keeps the sweetness in check. The body is light and the finish gentle. This is a rum aimed at easy sipping over ice or in a spiced cocktail, and it will appeal most to those who enjoy a seasonal, dessert adjacent flavoured spirit rather than a dry, traditional aged rum.
