This little bottle holds the essence of the Caribbean—dramatic molasses depth, warm caramel undertones, and just the right hint of oak. And the best part? You make it yourself. Well, almost.

What is Jamaican Dark Rum Essence?

Instead of buying pre-made rum, you start with a neutral spirit or vodka, add this flavouring essence, and voilà—you have an authentic dark rum profile without the wait. A single bottle of this essence transforms 2.25 litres of neutral spirit into three full-sized bottles of tipple worthy of any home bar.

Rum with a Versatile Edge

With its bold molasses character, smooth caramel finish, and whisper of oak, this dark rum essence holds its own no matter how you use it:

Classic Cocktails: Mix up an old-school Dark 'n' Stormy or a Rum Punch that packs a proper punch.
Sipping Spirit: If you enjoy a straight pour, this delivers warmth and depth worthy of a slow sip.
Baking & Cooking: Use it to elevate rum balls, fruitcake, or even a rich rum glaze for barbecued ribs.
