21 August 2024: The four-star deluxe St Ermin's Hotel in London's St James' Park has added to its collection of exclusive hotel-made spirits with the launch of its five-year-old cask-aged Spiced Rum. Made from the finest molasses found in the Caribbean, the rum blends 10 specially selected spices with botanicals and honey from the hotel's rooftop garden and hives to create a divine rich liquor. The intriguing design of the bottle has been developed to reflect the historic property's fascinating beekeeping heritage.
Hints of tobacco and tangs of orange and ginger, fuse with creamy, sweet vanilla aromas, resulting in a warming and versatile spirit that will be used in cocktails in the award-winning Caxton Bar and Grill. The rum is also available to purchase in the hotel's online shop. Price is £75 per 70cl bottle.
The 40% volume rum has been exclusively created for St. Ermin's by the multi award-winning Hawkridge Distillers Ltd in Berkshire.
The Spiced Rum follows the success of the St Ermin's award-winning gin. Recent accolades include London Spirits Competition 2023 (GOLD AWARD) and 2024 International Wine and Spirit Competition (SILVER AWARD).
With a glamorous heritage, eclectic styling, gorgeous rooms and suites, the enigmatic Caxton Bar and Terrace plus award winning signature restaurant, The Caxton Grill, the St. Ermin's Hotel is a distinctly individual, contemporary and welcoming offering. The hotel is dog-friendly, and the welcome has even extended to bees with the opening of London's only 'Bee & Bee' hotel alongside the hotel's resident Buckfast bee hives on the third-floor wildflower terrace.
