Mermaid Spiced Rum

Founded by Xavier Baker & Conrad Gauntlett in 2014, the Isle of Wight Distillery is the island’s first and only distillery and the home of Mermaid Rum. Rooted in the natural landscape of a unique island, their small team distil spirits shaped by stunning surroundings and the unique character of the island. Doing things differently, minimizing waste and using ethically sourced and often local ingredients to craft a range of smooth, complex spirits.

Mermaid Spiced Rum is crafted from a carefully selected blend of sugar cane and molasses rum from Trinidad and the Dominican Republic, distilled in column stills and aged between 2 - 5 years in oak bourbon whiskey barrels. Inspired by a long history of shipwrecks bringing Caribbean rum to Isle of Wight's shores, the unique spirit was created to honor heritage and folklore.

Infused with fragrant rock samphire, fresh white cherry and apricot, honey and black salt from floodtides. Gently spiced with local holy grass, cassia and vanilla. Smooth yet complex, with a hint of sea air, delicate caramel notes and vibrant fruity spice.
