G.H.Q. Rum. R for Regiment

Beautiful, intense nose. Perhaps the most intense on the nose. Fruity and floral with a light and elegant first impression of dried tropical fruit, nougat and wood spices. Refreshing and crisp with a matching richness and a sweet and sour note. Creamy but light throughout with a lovely sweetness and spice level. It is a lovely and fresh expression with a nice balance between sweet and savoury notes

Style: Dark Botanical Rum

With mixers: Fresh cloudy apple juice

Serving suggestions: Freeze the apple juice into cubes and pour the rum over them

Key ingredients are blended Jamaican, Dominican Republic and Guyana rums

G.H.Q. Rum is about that heady summer breeze. Swapping the trilby for the Bicorn Hat and rolling up your sleeves. Leaving the reefer jacket on the hook and enjoying the summer sunshine.

G.H.Q Spirits

The Water

Water comes from an ancient spring deep in the Scottish Highlands. Accessible only by trained operatives, the spring
produces some of the purest water in the world. This is
special forces water that has spent 50 years being filtered
through layers of underground rocks and crevices before it is
deemed ready to be part of our spirit team.
