How is River Test Spiced Rum made?
River Test Spiced Rum is made by The River Test Distillery and was inspired by the distillery's pastoral surroundings.
To make River Test Spiced Rum, the River Test team infuse the finest Caribbean rums with botanical ingredients from the local countryside like meadowsweet, milk thistle, cornflower and red clover, and more exotic spices like cocoa nibs, Szechuan pepper, and allspice.
Find the full list of River Test spice ingredients here: meadowsweet, cacao nibs, cassia, milk thistle, cornflower, red clover, orange, lemon, thyme, Szechuan pepper, coriander, allspice, and Grains of Paradise.
We wanted to portray a sense of place and stay true to our roots, which is a bit more challenging with a rum. So, we've had to work really hard to put our own twist on it. The result is something very special.
