Badachro Surfing Puffin Golden Rum, 70cl

Surfing Puffin Golden Rum is produced by Badachro Distillery on Scotland's north-west coast, made by vatting together three specially selected, imported barrel-aged rums from the Caribbean and infusing them with local Highland botanicals, including heather and bog myrtle, along with Seville orange. The result is a golden rum with a distinctive coastal-Highland character and a subtle, well-judged sweetness rather than an overtly sugary profile.

Shortlisted among just three entries in the International Blended Rum category at the 2024 Scottish Rum Awards, each bottle is finished with a hand-dipped wax seal. It drinks well over ice and mixes easily with cola or ginger beer for a simple, characterful long drink.
