The That Boutique-y Rum Company Signature Blends have been unveiled by the brand as two new products that are made with cocktails and sipping in mind to offer connoisseurs a different variety to try out. The products consist of the Signature Blend #1 and Signature Blend #2, which feature lighter and darker profiles, respectively. Each one was developed by rum expert Peter Holland, while the branding for the spirits was done by Microsoft Paint artist Jim'll Paint It.
Holland spoke on the new hat Boutique-y Rum Company Signature Blends saying, "When tasked with creating rums that would be predominantly used in cocktails, I firstly had to think of the style of drinks that I’d like to enjoy, then set about working a blend that stood up to my idea of what the cocktail would taste like. I don’t like the idea of trying to balance many different rum styles, a situation that overly complicates things. I much prefer the simplicity of two distinct styles working harmoniously together. Each displaying their strengths and contributions to the cocktail.”
