Cut Smoked Rum, 70cl

Cut Smoked Rum is a smoked rum from Proof Drinks, bottled at 40% ABV and billed as the first smoked rum in the UK. It starts with rum sourced from Jamaica and Trinidad, made in copper pot stills, which is infused with the smoke of burnt oak chips and then rested in oak barrels. The result is a bold, smoky rum with caramel, dark chocolate and dried fruit beneath the smoke.

About the brand

Cut is a rum brand from Proof Drinks of London. It was created in response to frustration with rums that rely on artificial ingredients and flavourings, and it focuses instead on natural ingredients. The range launched in the UK with a spiced rum, a smoked rum and an overproof variant, each in a bold, typographic label.

How it’s made

Cut Smoked Rum is blended from quality rum sourced from Jamaica and Trinidad and made in copper pot stills. It is infused with burnt oak chip smoke and then rested in oak barrels for three years before bottling.

Tasting notes

• Nose: Intense smoke, with charred oak and campfire notes balanced by vanilla and molasses.
• Palate: Robust and complex, with smoky undertones, caramel, dark chocolate and a touch of dried fruit.
• Finish: Long and warming, with smoke, spice and a hint of sweetness.

How to enjoy it

Cut Smoked Rum is good neat or over ice, where the smoke has room to show. It also makes a bold Dark ’n’ Stormy with ginger beer and lime. Try it with grilled meats, spicy dishes or rich desserts, which stand up well to its smoky depth.
