Inside the Rum and Crab Shack, a famous seafood joint in St Ives, Cornwall; and feeling suitably liberated from the tyranny of convention, a spiced rum was born; Dead Man’s Fingers. Dead Man’s Fingers rejected crusty old tradition in favour of flavours new; unusual flavours like Cornish Saffron cake and Pedro Ximénez ice cream were encouraged to get all close and personal with nutmeg, vanilla, and a hint of orange.

The result was a unique Spiced Rum that’s not only delicious sipped neat but also plays well with others – that subtle orange back-note making it a better mixer for a more diverse range of cocktails. ix variants.
