White.
Introducing the Helmsman White Rum, a delightful expression of our passion for crafting exceptional spirits. Aged for over a year, this light blonde beauty boasts a gentle hue and a delectably sweet flavor that sets it apart from its darker counterparts.
Derived from the finest sugarcane juice or molasses, white rum typically undergoes a shorter distillation process, resulting in a refreshingly crisp and versatile spirit. It's this very characteristic that makes our Helmsman White Rum the ideal choice for concocting a wide array of classic rum cocktails.
Whether you're in the mood for a revitalizing Mojito, an indulgent Pina Colada, or a tantalizing Daiquiri, our white rum serves as the perfect foundation to let your mixology skills shine. So, set sail on a voyage of flavors and let the Helmsman White Rum elevate your cocktail game to new heights.
Spiced.
Our Helmsman Spiced Rum is a celebration of the finest ingredients, skillfully married to create a truly memorable experience. It all begins with the exquisite Caribbean Rum, which we carefully transport to the enchanting shores of Aotearoa, New Zealand. Here, the real magic happens.
Infused with an array of hand-selected spices, both locally sourced and from distant lands, our spiced rum evolves into a smooth, well-rounded spirit. The enticing overtones of rich vanilla and delicate spices beckon the senses, while subtle hints of bananas, white chocolate, and cinnamon tantalize the nose. A gentle touch of soft pepper adds an unexpected twist, creating a symphony of flavors that dance on your palate.
This unique harmony of tastes masterfully softens the rum's flame, offering an unparalleled balance that sets Helmsman Spiced Rum apart from the rest. Discover the enchanting fusion of tradition and innovation, and let our spiced rum elevate your spirits to new heights.
Signature Range.
In our pursuit of excellence, we've taken our already exceptional Helmsman Spiced Rum and elevated it to even greater heights through a unique maturation process. This extraordinary journey begins with a carefully selected secondary barrel, graciously provided by our friends at Akarua Wines, nestled in the heart of Central Otago.
This Grand Cru American oak barrel is renowned for its exceptional balance and has been entrusted with some of the winery's most prized creations, including their award-winning Pinot Noir from Cairnmuir Road. We've harnessed the essence of these glacier terrace fruits by introducing our expertly blended Jamaican rum to this extraordinary vessel.
The result is a breathtaking fusion of flavors, imbued with unparalleled depth and complexity. As our spiced rum luxuriates within the barrel, it absorbs the subtle nuances of the esteemed Pinot Noir, culminating in a spectacular finish that is truly a testament to the art of craftsmanship.
Embark on an unforgettable sensory adventure with our barrel-matured Helmsman Spiced Rum, and experience a symphony of flavors that will leave you yearning for more.
