The Old J x Tubby Tom’s Pineapple Honey Glaze has been created in collaboration between the brands as a bold cooking sauce product perfect for elevating an array of fare this grilling season.
The product is crafted with a premium base of honey, Caribbean spices and honey with real Old J Spiced Rum in the mix to incorporate a rich, authentic flavor into every bite. The product thus boasts a sweet, sticky format that's crafted in small batches to ensure the utmost attention to quality. The product will be offered as part of a 12-week on-trade activation through the summer alongside a limited retail release.
Founder of Tubby Tonms Tom Hughes spoke on the Old J x Tubby Tom’s Pineapple Honey Glaze saying, "This is a true flavour bomb – bold, tropical, sweet, sticky, spicy and completely addictive. We’ve always been about having fun with flavour, so teaming up with Old J – a brand that gets that – just made total sense.”
