Burning Barn: The Craft Rum Forged from The Fire

Burning Barn Rum has become popular with drinkers seeking out unique and quality experiences.

Reimagine Bonfire Night this year with the Burning Barn’s craft flavoured rums inspired by smoke and flames. 

Perfect for autumnal sipping and seasonal cocktails (see recipes in  notes to editors), Burning Barn’s fiery Spiced Rum and Smokey Rum were created when a devastating fire destroyed founder Katherine Jenner’s family’s barn and toffee apple business in the West Midlands in 2015. Inspired by the smoke and flames of the fateful day, they launched the brand in 2017 with their heated Spiced Rum flavoured with the finest whole spices and a Smoked Rum redolent of smouldering embers and burnt caramel. 

Burning Barn’s unique and artisan rums are made with the finest Guyanase molasse and flavoured using natural ingredients sourced from their own farm in Birmingham. 

With its innovative, all-natural ingredients and inspirational origins, Burning Barn Rum has become popular with drinkers seeking out unique and quality experiences.  Each spirit has enough character to be enjoyed as a sipping rum or with premium mixers, as well as the depth and complexity to stand up in a cocktail. Making it a perfect gift for craft and flavoured rum drinkers seeking out a craft offering.

The Burning Barn Collection

Burning Barn Smoked Rum (40% ABV, 70cl, RRP £35)

The UK’s first hand-crafted smoked rum, this is a truly unique spirit. Smoked with real applewood from the family orchard, it has an intense smokiness with distinctive hints of apple, molasses and burnt treacle. The nose is punchy, but it is beguilingly smooth.

Available from Harrods, Harvey Nichols, Amazon, Master of Malt, and premium independent retailers

Burning Barn Spiced Rum (40% ABV, 70cl, RRP £32) 

Made with the finest whole spices to make a uniquely sophisticated and fiery spiced rum. Whole spices that include vanilla, coconut, chilli, ginger and allspice, are roasted in three-meter wide, heavy copper pans that are traditionally used for toffee making. Once it’s ready, the aromatic mix is infused directly into a special blend of Guyanese rums, before diluting to bottling strength.

Available from Tesco (West Midlands), Amazon, Master of Malt, Harrods, Harvey Nichols and premium independent retailers.

The Rum

Burning Barn Rum is made using the finest molasses in column and pot stills at the Diamond Distillery just outside Guyana’s capital, Georgetown. They are aged in the Caribbean in American Oak bourbon casks, before being shipped to the UK where the rums are flavoured, filtered and bottled on the family farm in Eastcote, West Midlands.
