About Two Drifters Distillery
Founded in 2019 by husband and wife team Russ and Gemma Wakeham in Exeter, Devon, Two Drifters represents a revolutionary approach to rum production. Their mission is to create exceptional spirits whilst pioneering sustainable practices and inspiring environmental responsibility. The distillery operates on 100% renewable energy, uses carbon-neutral packaging and couriers, and works with Climeworks to physically remove CO₂ from the atmosphere. Every bottle is designed for minimal environmental impact, featuring natural cork, compostable seals, lightweight British glass, and labels made from 95% waste sugarcane fibre. Their innovative approach has quickly established them as leaders in both English rum and sustainable spirits production.
Understanding English Rum Innovation
English rum represents one of the most exciting developments in the global spirits industry, with distilleries like Two Drifters leading innovation in production methods, flavour development, and sustainability practices. Unlike traditional Caribbean production, English rum makers have freedom to experiment with local influences, unique cask types, and cutting-edge environmental technologies. Two Drifters' choice of French oak ex-Madeira casks reflects this innovative spirit - the Madeira perfectly complements their fermentation process's natural orange aromatics whilst reducing shipping emissions. This approach showcases how English distillers are creating distinctive regional characteristics whilst addressing global environmental concerns.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What makes this rum "carbon-negative"?
A: Two Drifters calculates their entire production footprint, then works with Climeworks to remove more CO₂ from the atmosphere than they produce, creating a net-negative environmental impact.
Q: How does English rum differ from Caribbean rum?
A: English rum offers more flexibility in production methods and cask choices. Two Drifters uses French oak ex-Madeira casks and sustainable practices that create distinctive flavours whilst supporting environmental goals.
Q: Is this suitable for rum cocktails?
A: Absolutely! At 40% ABV with rich pot still character and orange notes, it's excellent in classic cocktails like Dark 'n' Stormy, Daiquiri, or Rum Punch, adding complexity over standard mixing rums.
Q: Why choose Madeira casks over traditional bourbon barrels?
A: The ex-Madeira casks complement Two Drifters' natural orange aromatics from fermentation, whilst French oak requires shorter shipping distances to Devon, reducing environmental impact - sustainability and flavour working together.
