Suncamino’s Floral Rum is the perfect way to dive into Spring!
If you’ve been caught in the increasingly awful weather in London over the last few weeks as I have, you’re probably thinking to yourself – blimey, I could do with some sun. Whilst nobody can change English weather, I can certainly recommend a tipple that tastes exactly like warm summer evenings: Suncamino Floral Rum. Suncamino literally means ‘Journey to the sun’, so I doubt there’s a better way to usher in some warmer times, than with a couple of shots of this soft spirit over ice.
Infused with hibiscus, orange blossom and honeybush, Suncamino is the world’s first floral rum; aged for up to eight years in Barbados, it is then shipped to Cape Town to be infused with fresh botanicals. Matured and bottled by hand, every step of the process in making a bottle of Suncamino has clearly been refined, so as to make a premium bottle of golden, sun-inspired, rum. With its international profile, Suncamino is the type of spirit that could teach you a thing or two about the world, but with its cool and distinctive label, it also clearly knows how to party.
When opening a bottle of Suncamino, right off the bat, waves of vanilla and blossom hit your senses – it’s immediately clear that this isn’t your typical salty sea dog rum. Trying it neat, it is caramelly at first with hints of honey and has a lovely soft finish, leaving the tastes of the infused blossoms on the tongue. There is no denying that Suncamino is a delicious, delicate golden rum packed with sweet and floral notes, making the spirit complex but also refreshingly light. For those among us who loathe neat spirits, fear not as this floral rum is also delightfully exquisite in a cocktail. Suncamino’s mixologists have invented The Skinny Dip, a light and easy way to serve their wonderful rum.

The Skinny Dip is a very simple cocktail that really accents the delicate floral flavours of the rum. For anyone wishing to experiment with this soft spirit, I would highly recommend simple cocktails that use a high proportion of rum to other ingredients, just to accent Suncamino’s natural flavours. I am willing to wager that this would taste wonderful in a rum Old-Fashioned, or even in a Mojito that goes easy on the mint.
Perfect as a gift for a spirit or cocktail lover, it is a fine drink to add to any esteemed collection. It is also available to be gift wrapped from SPIRIT.ED (link below). Personally, I can’t wait to try out Suncamino in a few more cocktails – who knows, maybe if I make enough I can manifest some sun.
