The story of the origin of our award-winning Steampunk Voodoo Spice is very interesting. We were at a party in London when we met a mysterious guy from Guyana in South America. We started talking about different kinds of rum when he suddenly offered a taste of a mysterious, nameless, unmarked rum. A few shots of the wonderful spirit later the man finally confessed that rum was an old family recipe containing black pepper, ginger, and vanilla.
From that moment on, we were crazy about this rum, with it’s brown sugar sweetness and heavy notes of vanilla bean paste reminding us of tea-cake batter. After sourcing rum from the finest distillery in Guyana we tried to imitate the drink from the party by finding the perfect blend of black pepper, ginger, and vanilla. Several months of research and experimentation and seventeen attempts later, we finally succeeded in reproducing the taste and aroma of the artisan drink to perfection.
The Steampunk Voodoo Spice offers earthy vanilla, and creamy hazelnut notes and a taste of lots of caramel, maple syrup, and a touch of spice. Leading with a taste of almond and caramel, the hint of subtle spice and maple syrup unfold into a chilli heat, reminding us happily of tea-cake batter.
Voodoo Spice can be enjoyed neat, or paired with cola, ginger ale and tonics.
