Who are The Rum Company?
It all begins with an idea… and the best ideas come while sipping rum
Born out of lockdown in 2020 by two friends, bored of the limited selection of rum in the supermarkets and local bars.
The rum community is passionate and growing, reaching new demographics and new rum lovers. We understand that rum drinkers are looking for rum brands that not only taste great, adventurous and innovative but also reflect a mood or define themselves as an individual, their personality and style. And as such, rum brands are evolving to become more dynamic and engaging. The Rum Company bridge the gap with our innovative online platform.

A Spirit of Innovation. Our website features a number of innovative tools to help customers find the ideal rum. Our ‘rum finder’ tool allows customers to find rums similar to their favourite rum, to help them try new rum and broaden their horizons. Our visual ‘taste bar’ system, quickly and easily offers the customer an idea of the types of flavours you will find in the rum – great if you don’t like clove for example!
