Mapmakers Coastal Spiced Rum - 40% 70cl

Coastal Spiced Rum is the first release of this new Mapmaker's Rum range.

The company’s House Rum, skillfully crafted by their distiller, Kevin, undergoes a meticulous process.

Mapmaker’s Rum is a tribute to Timothy Pont. An excellent cartographer who spent his summers diligently surveying Scotland.

In 1600/1601 Pont was appointed minister of Dunnet Parish a post he still held in December 1610. The only monument to Pont, other than his maps, is a commemorative plaque in Dunnet Parish Church which is located next door to Dunnet Bay Distillery.

It is twice distilled using their custom-made copper pot stills, with only the middle cut of the 2nd distillation selected for use in MapMaker’s Rum.

To create this exceptional blend, Caribbean rum is harmoniously combined with Loch Calder water, and under Hanna’s expertise, it is infused with a selection of local botanicals, including lemon verbena, scurvy grass, sea kelp, and Scottish sea salt.

Nose: A touch of banana and vanilla followed by light citrus and toffee notes.

Palate: A full-bodied burst of bright citrus followed by salted caramel with a light peppery spice.

Finish: Salted caramel with well rounded spice and a delicious lasting salinity.
