Spiced Rum (700 ml)

Dead Man's Fingers takes its name from the edible crab claws harvested off the Cornish coast — a nod to the brand's roots at the Rum & Crab Shack in St Ives, Cornwall, where the recipe was first developed. That seaside origin story anchors a deliberate choice: build a spiced rum approachable enough for food pairing in a casual coastal setting, not a sipping room.

The base is Caribbean-sourced molasses rum, blended and bottled in Cornwall. The spice recipe layers vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger into the distillate, producing a sweetness-forward profile that sits at 37.5% ABV — the minimum legal strength for spirits in the EU/UK, a conscious decision to keep the liquid accessible and mixer-friendly rather than cask-strength.

What separates this expression within the crowded UK spiced rum category is its explicit coastal-brand identity built before the spiced rum boom, giving it genuine provenance rather than a retrofitted story. The liquid is not chill-filtered to a harsh clarity, preserving some texture from the botanical maceration. Drink now; no aging benefit in bottle.
