Dead Man's Finger Herbal Rum (700 ml)

Dead Man's Fingers takes its name from the barnacle clusters found on lobster claws off the Cornish coast — a nod to the brand's origins at the Rum & Crab Shack in St Ives, Cornwall, where the recipe was first developed. That coastal provenance shaped a deliberate philosophy: build a rum that carries herbal and spiced complexity without the cloying sweetness that dominates most flavoured Caribbean expressions.

The base is a Caribbean molasses-derived rum, redistilled and blended before a botanical infusion introduces the herbal character — a proprietary mix that leans on bitter, aromatic, and root-driven botanicals rather than the vanilla-forward profile typical of spiced rums in this price tier. Bottled at 37.5% ABV, it sits just above liqueur threshold, preserving spirit structure while keeping the botanical layer prominent.

What separates this expression from the brand's core spiced rum is the deliberate shift toward herbal bitterness — closer in spirit to an amaro-influenced rum than a conventional spiced bottling. Drink over ice or long with ginger beer to let the bitter botanical backbone cut through dilution.
