Cornish rum brand meets fresh lime: cold-macerated citrus peel over Caribbean white rum base, bottled at 37.5% ABV.
Dead Man's Fingers takes its name from the edible crabs found clinging to lobster pots off the Cornish coast — a brand rooted in the seafaring culture of Newquay, Cornwall, where the Rum & Crab Shack first poured it to locals. That coastal origin story anchors a deliberate flavour strategy: approachable, fruit-forward rums built for immediate pleasure rather than aged complexity.
The base is a Caribbean white rum, chosen for its clean, neutral backbone that lets the botanical character lead. Lime flavour is introduced through maceration and natural flavouring, delivering sharp citrus zest rather than a cooked or cordial-like sweetness.
Bottled at 37.5% ABV — below standard spirit strength — the lower proof is a deliberate commercial choice to soften the spirit's edge and widen its mixer appeal.
What separates this expression within the Dead Man's Fingers range is the lime-forward profile: sharper and more tart than the coconut or mango variants, it reads closer to a fresh daiquiri ingredient than a flavoured spirit novelty. The result is a zesty, punchy pour that performs as both a shot and a long-drink base.
Sommelier’s pick: Grilled tiger prawns with lime butter · Fish tacos with mango-chilli salsa
