Two Shores Rum, a premium golden rum with a unique ageing process, is launching in the UK market. These sustainably sourced rums are created with the finest pure sugar cane and distilled in the heart of Central America. The eight-year old rum is then aged for a minimum of six months on the west coast of Ireland in a range of hand-selected aged Irish whiskey casks. The humid on-the-equator ageing, combined with the secondary Irish whiskey finishes, creates a range of rums that are unlike any other on the market. The result is a smooth and complex liquid that is perfect for sipping neat.
The range includes finishes in 19-year old single malt Irish whiskey, Oloroso sherry, rich peated whisky, and Amarone wine casks. And unlike many other rums on the market, Two Shores uses no fill filtration, additives, or colourings.
Two Shores Rum is perfect for rum drinkers looking to trade up, as well as higher- end whisky and bourbon drinkers seeking something different yet familiar. The rum can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks or in a cocktail. The smooth and complex nature of the rum makes it a versatile choice for any occasion. The Two Shores range is expected to bring new consumers and liquid expressions to the Irish rum category.
The brand’s founder, Jason Kidd, is passionate about Irish products and his dedication to producing a truly unique rum is evident in every sip. Kidd’s vision was to create a rum that would stand out from the rest and showcase the best of what Central America and Ireland have to offer. “We are thrilled to be launching Two Shores Rum in the UK. I have always been drawn to the rich culture and history of Ireland and I wanted to create a rum that would pay homage,” says Kidd. “We believe that Two Shores Rum is a true representation of the marriage of Central American sugarcane and Irish whiskey ageing. The result is a delightfully smooth yet complex liquid that is perfect for sipping neat.”
Two Shores Rum is available from Master of Malt starting from £50 for 70cl.
