Distilled using a small batch method in Leamington Spa and using a traditional copper pot, the inspiration behind the award-winning drinks collection of gin, rum and vodka,comes from a desire to capture a moment in history, developing flavours to truly represent the county's own unique story and bringing the hand-crafted flavours to life.

This cocktail is made using Pugilist's 37% ABV Spice Blended Rum using the finest Guyanan Rum and rectified with nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice, orange peel, and finished off with Grade A vanilla to deliver a beautifully smooth mouth feel.
