Five Rivers Rum is created from an old
family recipe produced by the Sanghera family for over 150 years. The name relates to the Five Rivers Rum’s
area of origin in Punjab, India, a name when translated to means the ‘land of
the five waters’. Located near the
foothills of the Himalayas, five rivers travel across the Punjabi plains enriching
the soil creating the
perfect conditions for growing some of the finest sugarcane in the world.
Five
Rivers Rum is distilled from “gur”, a mixture made by blending Indian sugar
cane juice with the natural flavors of orange and green grape. It is recommended sipped neat or mixed into
classic cocktails such as a Daiquiri.
This is an interesting method of creating rum. Fermenting the flavors of the ornge and the
grape with the sugarcane juice to make the interestingly flavored rum.
“I’m honored to bring my ancestors’ recipe
to the United Kingdom market,” said Taj Sanghera, founder of Sanghera Rum
Company. “Back home in India people love
rum, it is a big part of our culture. I’m really excited to be able to bring
the distinctive Indian-style rum to the UK for the first time.” This is said to be only the beginning of the
journey for this rum.
