Two Drifters Signature Rum is produced using a year long maturation in French Oak, ex-Madeira casks have added a delicious flavour to this smooth rum. With gentle flavours of orange peel and muscovado sugar, it demonstrates perfectly the distilling prowess of Two Drifters Distillery.

The team chose French Oak, ex-Madeira casks - due to the nature of the fermentation process, the rums have a subtle orange aroma to them, so Madeira is the perfect choice. Secondly, shipping these casks to the distillery in Exeter created lower CO2 emissions.

It's a dry rum, aimed at highlighting the care and attention they take in crafting their rums and showcasing their rum profile. Add a few ice cubes to really enhance the flavours but is also a great addition to your favourite rum mixer.

100% pot still rum, perfect for sipping. Aged in casks for one year.

Tasting notes: French Oak, ex-Madeira casks impart gentle flavours of orange peel and muscovado sugar.

What does it mean to be carbon negative?

Two Drifters Distillery is committed to both avoiding and removing CO2.

To that end, they have an electric distillery run on 100% renewable energy, electric vehicles, carbon neutral packaging and courier, sustainable merchandise, a closed loop chilling system and a new bottle design that creates significantly less CO2.

Some CO2 can’t be avoided, for instance shipping the molasses, farming the sugarcane, glass bottle production, moving inventory etc. Here they either look for a sustainable alternative or work with Climeworks to physically remove CO2. They remove more than their entire footprint creates, giving them a negative footprint.

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.
