White 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 and Crab Shack in St Ives, Cornwall, where the recipe was first developed. Though now produced and bottled in England, the brand's identity is anchored in that coastal, irreverent Cornish character.

This White Rum is an unaged expression, bypassing cask maturation entirely to preserve the raw distillate character. Bottled at 37.5% ABV, it sits at the lower end of standard rum strength, a deliberate commercial choice that softens the spirit's edge without stripping its tropical fruit and light coconut-adjacent sweetness. The base molasses distillate delivers straightforward sugarcane-derived esters — banana, light vanilla, and fresh citrus peel — without the wood tannin or oxidative complexity that barrel aging would introduce.

What sets this expression apart within the white rum category is its approachable sweetness profile at a sub-40% bottling strength, positioning it explicitly as a mixer-first spirit rather than a sipping rum — a category rule it openly breaks by prioritising cocktail integration over standalone complexity.
