Discarded Rom

Discarded is a rum series whose name is itself a provocation: cast off, rejected, overlooked. It's a rum that insists on giving new life to what others have written off, whether forgotten distilleries or overlooked cask stocks. There's a clear story of rebirth hidden in the name itself.

Discarded Banana Peel Rum Spirit Drink 37.5%

Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197280160

Behind this rum-based drink lies a sustainability project from William Grant & Sons, where discarded banana peels from the food industry get a new life.
Expert Description
Discarded Banana Peel is a Caribbean Rum-based Spirit Drink, a whisky-cask-matured Caribbean rum infused with banana peels for two weeks, bottled at 37.5%.
The Discarded Spirits range from William Grant & Sons is built around sustainability: the banana peels used to flavour the rum come from a flavour house that only uses the fruit's flesh and would otherwise have thrown the peels away. Because the rum is infused with banana peel and other natural flavourings, it's sold as a spirit drink rather than rum.
The result is a sweet, dessert-like drink with a pronounced banana character, made primarily for cocktails and desserts rather than serious rum sipping.

About Discarded

Discarded is a rum series that, as the name suggests, focuses on rum casks and batches that might otherwise have been overlooked or rejected by other players in the industry. By giving these casks a second chance, unexpected, characterful releases are created that often stand apart from the more streamlined, commercial rum brands. For newcomers, the name is an immediate curiosity-sparker, while the rum enthusiast will appreciate the unpredictable, experimental selection the series offers.

History & Background

Discarded was created as a reaction against the rum industry's tendency to focus on uniform, easily recognizable products, with the ambition of instead highlighting what's unique about overlooked or unconventional cask material. By seeking out rum casks that other bottlers have passed over, often for commercial rather than quality reasons, the series manages to deliver surprising, individual releases. The concept appeals particularly to the part of the rum community looking for something outside the well-known, established brands.

Production & Style

The rum is distilled from molasses using classic methods and aged in oak casks, giving it a sweet foundation to build the sustainable concept on.

Signature Style

Sweet, Round, Sustainable
The rum offers a sweet, round character with a sustainable footing, giving the conscience some peace without compromising on flavour.
