Our beloved hometown of St Ives is steeped in folklore. Our spiced rum takes its name from “The Island” in St Ives, where legend tells of smuggling tunnels running from the cove of St Ia beneath the town, connecting to the cellars of old taverns. Pirates and smugglers once used these secret passageways to move barrels of contraband and crates of exotic goods to waiting landlords and their thirsty patrons.

But beyond the cove, darker tales linger. Sailors spoke in hushed tones of the murderous Mermaids of Zennor, whose haunting songs lured ships to their doom. When the shores ran red, the fishermen knew why.

Today, our rum raises a glass to those legends—keeping the stories, shanties, and wild spirit of St Ives alive… while enjoying a glug or two, of course.

We’ve partnered with The Cornish Drink Store when it comes to buying our products. Visit their website here, or visit them on the High Street of St Ives, Cornwall!

Our Cornish Spiced Rum is our flagship expression — crafted with premium-grade rum, pure Cornish water, and layered with sweet vanilla, zesty lime, and warm undertones of cinnamon, nutmeg, and almond. Distilled in small batches at our hilltop distillery in the heart of St Ives, it’s the spirit that started it all.

Bold yet smooth, it’s perfect poured over ice with cola and a dash of fresh lime — or shaken into any number of your favourite cocktails.
