Top Shelf Dark Spiced Rum

Still Spirits Top Shelf Dark Spiced Rum is a richly flavoured rum-style essence with chocolate and vanilla at its core, supported by cinnamon, clove and coffee notes.

How to mix

1. Shake the 50ml bottle well.
2. Add the contents to 2.25L of 50% ABV neutral spirit.
3. Mix thoroughly and bottle.

Makes three 750ml bottles. Note that the current supplier direction specifies a 50% ABV base for this particular flavouring, rather than the 40% base used by many other Top Shelf spirit essences.

If you are preparing the neutral spirit yourself, see our complete guide to making spirits at home for an overview of fermentation, distillation and finishing.
