The idea for Shanty Queen Spiced rum began many years ago…

It started with a trip to Cuba in 2000, rum was THE drink at all the Salsa parties in all the squares in Havanna. Years later, running a pub & a reggae club in Ramsgate lit that fire again, I remember how it brought people together and I started to make my own recipe…

Years spent crafting the right kind of spice for this rum and finally it was born in the Summer of 2026!
