Bristol Classic Rums, founded by renowned rum connoisseur John Barrett, is a UK-based independent bottler celebrated for sourcing and ageing exceptional rums from across the globe. With a focus on authenticity, terroir, and cask-driven complexity, Bristol Classic Rums hand-selects rare and characterful spirits from the Caribbean and beyond, maturing them under optimal conditions before bottling without chill filtration or artificial additives. Each release reflects a commitment to traditional rum-making, provenance, and unadulterated expression.

Bristol Classic Rum’s Black Spiced Rum is a masterfully crafted blend that redefines the spiced rum category. Distilled from a combination of aged rums sourced from Trinidad and Mauritius, this expression is matured in refill American oak casks and bottled at 42% ABV.

In the glass, it presents a deep, dark amber hue, indicative of its rich composition. The nose is immediately inviting, offering a complex bouquet of gingerbread, heather honey, orange zest, and walnut, evoking the warmth of a spiced winter dessert. On the palate, it delivers a well-balanced profile, featuring notes of liquorice, cinnamon, and other spices, culminating in a smooth and lingering finish.
