What you are buying
Most spiced rum is built to be mixed. This one is built to be sipped. Expedition Spiced Rum is a Caribbean rum base macerated with seven real spices: Madagascan vanilla, Ceylon cinnamon, Guatemalan allspice, Sri Lankan cloves, Spanish orange peel, Indonesian cassia and Peruvian ginger. Sweetened with Mexican agave, rested on bourbon oak for maturation. No artificial flavourings.
Vanilla and caramel arrive first, warm spice through the middle, bourbon oak on the finish. Drink it neat over a large ice cube, or build the serve that took Silver at the IWSC 2026: Expedition Spiced Rum and Franklin and Sons cola. The rum itself took Bronze.
Macerated in small batches by our British partner distillery. Founded by two Royal Corps of Signals veterans with over 17 years of combined service. 5% of profits goes to military charities. Every bottle carries a batch number you can trace.
700ml. 40% ABV.

Tasting Notes
Flavour Profile
Aroma (Nose)
Madagascan vanilla leads. Rich, creamy, immediate. Ceylon cinnamon and toasted bourbon oak follow. Orange peel cuts through and lifts the whole thing. Clove and allspice settle underneath, adding depth without dominating.
Palate (Taste)
Naturally sweet upfront, from agave syrup. Ginger heat, cassia bark and layered baking spice come through in the middle. Citrus reappears mid-palate, cutting the richness with a clean, zesty edge.
Finish
Long and warming. Oak tannins settle with vanilla and winter spice, ginger trailing behind. Clean, gently dry, and built for sipping.
Professional Tip
Serve over a large ice cube with an orange peel twist. The slow dilution opens up the spice complexity. The citrus oils from the peel work well against the vanilla.
Production Process
Macerated in small batches by our British partner distillery. We start with Caribbean rum as the base, then steep it with seven real spices: Madagascan vanilla pods, Ceylon cinnamon, Peruvian ginger, Spanish orange peel, Indonesian cassia bark, Sri Lankan cloves, and Guatemalan allspice. Each botanical is given proper time before we move on. We sweeten with Mexican agave syrup. Natural, not excessive. A small amount of glucose syrup is added for mouthfeel, giving the spirit its characteristic silky texture without adding noticeable sweetness. The rum then rests on bourbon barrel chips, picking up soft oak and a note of caramel warmth. Every batch is tasted multiple times before it leaves. No shortcuts at any stage.

Customer Reviews
What people think
“Really impressed with this. I normally drink kraken and this is a lot better.”
“Probably the best rum I’ve had for years!”
“Fantastic spiced rum. As a newly established brand, the rum is absolutely brilliant. I have experimented with it in a few cocktails and have thoroughly enjoyed it. The combination of flavours is wonderful, especially the ginger in it. Highly recommend.”
“Great guys to deal with, awesome product, the smell, the taste are stunning, so smooth, great over ice… plus the bottle is unique, I’ll be ordering another one to go in my collection.”
“One word ‘Great’. Product is great and great people. I will definitely buy from them again once I’ve finished the 3 bottle I have.”
“This is the best spiced rum I have tried (and I have tried a lot!), and in the top 10 of my favourite rums. It doesn't have the sweetness of most spiced rum drinks and is more like a rum with spice rather than spiced rum… There's no burn like you get with most spirits, Expedition is silky smooth.”
“I've tried plenty of spiced rums over the years, and this one genuinely stood out from the moment I opened the bottle… The Madagascan vanilla comes through beautifully, supported by warming cinnamon, subtle oak, and a fresh hint of orange peel… There's plenty of character, but none of the aggressive burn that can sometimes overpower spiced rums.”
“Just got my 2nd bottle, best rum out there by far!! I love the drink, I love the fact it’s a veteran run business and I love the bottle!!!”
