From the picturesque shores of Arisaig, Scotland to the vibrant streets of Piccadilly Circus in 1960s London, it has left its mark on every corner of the world. Cockspur Rum takes us on a journey to the sun-kissed beaches of Barbados in the Caribbean, where its rich flavors are born. Meanwhile, at the Old Barbancourt rum factory in Haiti's Laboule region, tradition and history intertwine as they have since 1765. In Cuba, Trinidad's Havana Club proudly adorns a bar wall in the historical center while Santiago de Cuba boasts the original Bacardi Factory - a testament to Cuba's deep-rooted connection with this beloved spirit. The iconic Bacardi Building stands tall amidst Havana's bustling streets, serving as a symbol of craftsmanship and excellence. Rum has long been intertwined with naval traditions; it was once issued as grog to sailors who braved treacherous waters. Le Diamant village offers an array of local rum drinks that tantalize taste buds and capture the essence of their surroundings. As autumn blankets Eigg Island with golden hues, its neighboring island Rum provides a breathtaking backdrop that showcases nature's beauty at its finest. Even back in the 1830s, Deacon Giless Distillery used temperance cartoons to humorously depict society’s love affair with rum. Whether sipped by moonlight overlooking Rum or enjoyed amidst city lights like those illuminating Piccadilly Circus decades ago – there is no denying that rum transcends time and place.
