It all started in a crab and seafood restaurant in the small coastal town of St Ives, Cornwall. Dead Man's Fingers has nothing to do with old rum tradition, and that's exactly the point: a spiced rum built on curiosity rather than rules.
Expert Description
Dead Man's Fingers Spiced Rum is a Spiced Rum from the Caribbean and England, bottled at 37.5%.
Behind the rum stands the Rum and Crab Shack, a restaurant in St Ives, where the founders began experimenting with rum as a side project in 2015. The base is a blend of rums from Trinidad and Barbados, aged for up to three years before being blended with spices and brought to the Bristol and Bath Rum Distillery in England, where it's finished and bottled.
The spicing is applied with a firm hand: orange, nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla give a sweet, lightly festive character, while a hint of saffron and black pepper keep the rum from becoming too perfumed.
Tasting Notes

Orange peel and caramel meet cinnamon and nutmeg, with a sweet hint of saffron cake.
Palate
Full and spiced with brown sugar, vanilla and dried fruit, carried by a warm cinnamon note.
Finish
Medium length with a final touch of black pepper and a hint of orange fading gently out.
