UK-based
spirits maker Steampunk has expanded its portfolio with the launch of Voodoo
Spiced Rum, the company’s first rum expression. The firm, which currently makes
Steampunk Gin, has created the expression using a blend of Caribbean rums
infused with vanilla, ginger and black pepper.
Charlie Gibbs, managing director of
Steampunk spirits, said: “More and more people are seeking new and interesting
taste experiences, and we’ve come up with something that offers an alternative
and contemporary take on a classic drink.
“Our unique bottle design sets us aside from any other brand on the
market – it tells a story – channeling the voodoo mysteries of Baron Samedi,
who dwells in the realm between life and death, and is known for his fondness
of rum and a good time. Yes, we’re a little out of the ordinary here at
Steampunk.”
Bottled at 40% abv, Steampunk’s Voodoo
Spiced Rum is currently available at steampunkgin.com and The Rare Drop, in
Gateshead, retailing at $32.00.
Unfortunately, this is not available yet in the United States, but it
does sound interesting.
