DEAD MAN’S FINGERS – The citrus notes in other rums favour the more acidic end of the citrus scale with hints of lemon and lime. We decided to create a rum with slightly sweeter characteristics of orange. Perhaps it was something to do with how open-minded Cornish folks are to influences from far and wide that we soon found new and unique flavours for our rum. Saffron cake, Pedro Ximénez ice cream, nutmeg, vanilla and of course oranges; inhale the aroma of Dead Man’s Fingers Spiced Rum, and you’ll find echoes of them all. As a result, we play well with others – that subtle orange back-note making Dead Man’s Fingers a great mixer for a more diverse range of cocktails.Having been born at The Rum and Crab Shack in St Ives the founders, while searching for an iconic brand name, turned to their signature dish for inspiration. The Dead Man’s Fingers are the spongy gill’s found inside a Crab and should be removed before eating. It is said that eating them will cause instant death (Not quite true) but an old wives tale suggested that mixing the dead man’s fingers with a little rum would help any sailor who fell over board to expell the sea water he had ingested. So with that they were able to tie together Rum folk law and their love for fresh Cornish crabs as well as an opportunity to create a brand with a bit more of an edge and move away from the classic Pirates and palm tress’s and take steps to be just that bit more unconventional.
If you love the tropical flavour of coconuts, then you’ll love this variation of Dead Man’s Fingers.
