Santa Maria 1493 Supirior Rum Original Caribbean Rum 37,5%

Santa Maria 1493 isn't a rum with a pedigree or a distillery address. It's a broad, easy-drinking Caribbean rum made for everyday use – not something to geek out over, just something to have on the shelf.

About Santa Maria 1493

There isn't much distillery history to dig up here, and we won't pretend there is. Santa Maria 1493 is a blended Caribbean Rum, bottled for B&K International – so more of a trade product than a brand with its own production. There are plenty of rums like this around, and that's fine, as long as you know what you're buying.

Production & style

The rum is barrel aged, which gives it its amber colour and a soft character. It's built to be easy-going – as good in a glass with ice and lime as it is with cola.

Signature style

Mild and round, with a touch of sweetness and a light hint of oak from the barrel ageing. No sharp edges, no complexity to hunt for – just a straightforward rum you can drink without thinking too hard about it.
