The Rum Renaissance is in full-swing and Palm Beach is leading the way with the launch of its range of rum liqueurs. The unique flavours are inspired by the easy-going nature of the Caribbean, with delicious Mango & Passionfruit and indulgent Banana & Butterscotch sure to transport you to sandy, palm-lined beaches! The brand new flavours are now available to purchase online or in-store from Tesco at just £10 per 50 cl bottle.
Rum liqueurs follow the success of whisky and gin liqueurs and can be enjoyed over ice, with a mixer or splashed in a cocktail. Typically, a rum liqueur is defined by a lower ABV catering to those looking for lower alcohol strength alternatives and vibrant but complementary flavours which are added to classic rum notes such as rich spices, supple caramel, or honeyed sweetness – and the new offerings from Palm Beach certainly tick those boxes.
Each of these exciting new products have a unique flavour, with Palm Beach Banana & Butterscotch evoking warmth including notes of tropical banana and creamy butterscotch; and Palm Beach Mango & Passionfruit featuring a smooth combination of sweetness from the mango and a tanginess from the passion fruit.
Clare Gibson, Marketing Director at ICB Ltd which owns Palm Beach, said:
“We’re really excited to be launching the first two flavours in our rum liqueur range! With people becoming more adventurous with rum-based drinking there’s a desire to experiment by trying new flavours and serves, which is where rum liqueurs come in, offering those wanting to venture into rum drinking a delicious introduction.
“With a lower ABV of 20%, they offer consumers the chance to try something new and exciting which has a sweeter profile and is more easy drinking than a full strength rum.”
And if the launch of the first two flavours weren’t exciting enough, there’s even more good news from Palm Beach, as the full range will include three more delicious flavours.
