Da Mhile Dark Skies Organic Rum Oak Cask Finish

A fantastic oak matured Rum that has been wholly produced in Wales from organic molasses. Beautiful amber mahogany in colour, it has hints of dates, banana, vanilla and raisins, and can be drunk as a sipping rum or with a mixer. Dà Mhile Distillery has partnered with the Cambrian Mountains Initiative, which has an ever growing number of stargazers, astro photographers and astronomers visiting this low light pollution area to view its ‘Dark Skies’.

• Best Organic Rum, John Clarke, The Independent, ‘Wales isn’t necessarily the first place you think of for rum – palm trees and sugar cane don’t form much of the scenery. With a name that reflects the low-light pollution area where it’s made, the rum has notes of vanilla, banana and dates and a subtle sweetness. Treat it as a sipping rum or enjoy it as the basis of a dark skies mojito’.

Dà Mhìle, pronounced da-vee-lay and meaning Gaelic for two thousand, began life in 1992 when John Savage-Onstwedder commissioned the world's first organic whisky (of the modern era at least) to be made to celebrate the millenium in 2000. The whisky is still being produced (but the original bottles from 1992 are now highly sought after), but they have have also expanded into gin and liqueurs, produced using their own copper pot still in Wales.
