About Dead Man's Fingers
The Rum and Crab Shack in St. Ives, Cornwall, is a famous seafood restaurant that loves doing things unconventionally. It was there, that Dead Man's Fingers Spiced Rum was born, combining unusual flavors such as Cornish saffron cake, Pedro Ximenez Sherry ice cream, as well as nutmeg, vanilla, and orange. Designed to be a delicious sipper, it's the orange component that plays particularly well with cocktails as well.
Crab is one of the most popular items on the restaurant's menu. The rum didn't get its name from pirates or the Caribbean, but rather the crab's gills, also called "dead man's fingers" ― named so for their foul taste. They currently have a number of flavored rum expressions in their lineup: Cherry Rum, Banana Rum, Passion Fruit Rum, Raspberry Rum, Hazelnut Rum, Lime Rum, Mango Rum, Pineapple Rum, Hemp Rum, Coffee Rum, and Coconut Rum.
Rum history allegedly started in the Carribiens in the 17th century when they started to ferment and distill molasses, a byproduct of sugar production. Most of the Rum is aged in oak or ex-wine casks, giving its color and flavor.
We distinguish between 4 different Rum categories, where white or unaged rum is mainly used in cocktails, while dark, spiced, and añejo (aged) rum are mostly enjoyed neat.
The unique profile has saffron cake, sherry ice cream, creamy caramel, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pleasant sweetness with orange notes. Hints of tropical fruit, raisins, and black pepper make for a complex drinking experience.
