Spirited Union Distillery is setting itself apart as a botanical rum distillery that's created the world's first botanical white rum, which is prepared with simple, natural ingredients like Amalfi lemons, blue eucalyptus and kina bark. The distillery's newest botanical spirit, Union Lemon & Leaf Rum, also contains Sri Lankan black tea, sarawak pepper and sarsaparilla root, which is said to create notes that are citrusy and grassy with a spicy finish.
The botanical rum distillery's approach to rum avoids the use of artificial additives and sickly sweet ingredients and looks beyond tradition to offer a fresh new perspective on white rum.
According to Spirited Union Distillery, its new Lemon & Leaf Rum pairs exceptionally well with tonic water, lemon zest and a mint leaf.
