Co-founder of Salford Rum, Tommy Gaughan, said: “This listing is a huge step forward for the brand, and we are so pleased that local fans of Salford Rum can grab a bottle of Dark Spice while they do their weekly shop.
“We see it as the start of something big and we wouldn’t be where we are without the unwavering support of our loyal customer base that has stuck by us for the last two and a half years.”
The Salford Rum Company spiced rum celebrates the heritage of Salford Docks throughout the late 1800’s and early 1900’s and was inspired by the Caribbean imports that arrived there.
The rum delivers notes of vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger and dried fruits.
It is also copper column distilled in small batches before being hand-bottled a small distance away from Salford Docks.
The bottle is based on a 1900 map of the docks in a doodle style illustrated by Manchester artist, Dave Draws who specialises in doodle maps of different cities and towns.
In an effort to reduce plastic waste, the illustration is screen-printed onto the bottle.
