Still Spirits Original White Rum

Still Spirits Original White Rum is a 50ml Still Spirits Original flavouring that turns 40% ABV neutral spirit or vodka into a finished spirit. One bottle makes about 5 litres of finished spirit. Still Spirits describes it as "A traditional white rum flavouring. A great value flavouring suitable for mixing with larger volumes of neutral spirit or vodka."

What it tastes like

The value white rum. Clean and light, built for mixing, and dosed at 7.5ml per bottle so one 50ml flavours about 5 litres. It is the rum for a summer of rum and cola or mojitos where you are going through it quickly.

How to make it

Add 7.5ml of flavouring for every 750ml of 40% ABV neutral spirit or vodka, or 11.25ml per 1.125 litre bottle, and shake well. One 50ml bottle flavours about 5 litres, which is why this range suits anyone running a Turbo 500 and bottling in volume.

The spirit can be bought vodka or your own neutral spirit. Most of our customers run theirs off an Air Still Pro or a Turbo 500 and carbon filter it first; our guide to making a clean neutral spirit covers the wash and the run. A clean base matters more than the flavouring: an essence cannot hide a rough spirit.

When to choose this one

Choose the Original for volume and price. Choose the Top Shelf White Rum for the almond and vanilla finish on a bottle you want to taste on its own. The rest of the range is on the Top Shelf essences collection.
