Rum is a summer classic. The booze is deliciously fruity and easy to improvise with on the spot—try white rum, grenadine, and simple syrup for a refreshing daiquiri; coconut rum on the rocks with pineapple juice or hot ginger beer for a cool, spicy refresher.
Mounts Bay Distillery reflects their love for Cornwall and the sea with their Keynvor spiced rum, made with Cornish honey, saffron, and seaweed. They also give 10% of their profits to plastic free seas charities.
Keynvor Spiced Rum
Taking the best of Caribbean rum and marrying it with Cornish honey, saffron and seaweed in a beautiful blend of three and five year old casked rums, this is a smooth as silk spirit. Its sweet honey, salty umami and savoury iodine seaweed notes are a delight on the tongue.
The key to enjoying this rum is to find a balance between its sweetness and the savoury seaweed flavours. Whether you’re enjoying it neat, or adding it to your favourite mixer (cola, ginger beer, crisp apple juice), it’s sure to please.
A fine rum that’s well worth the splurge, especially as it’s backed by a good cause. 10% of all profits goes to plastic free seas charities – something the distillery is very proud of. If you’re in the market for a premium rum then you can’t go wrong with Mounts Bay distillery’s Keynvor. It’s the finest of its kind you’ll find anywhere!

Mount Bay White Rum
The oldest commercial rum distiller in the world, Mount Bay has a reputation for being a favorite of sailors for its simple sweetness and mellow harmony of sugar cane syrup and banana. This rum, distilled in copper pot and column stills, then aged a minimum of two years in used whisky and bourbon barrels, is clean and aromatic.
It’s a light-bodied rum that combines the freshness of citrus with notes of vanilla, buttery caramel, toasted coconut, and subtle oak. It’s a good choice for mojitos or any other tropical-inspired cocktail.
The company has four core blends: Eclipse, Black Barrel, XO (formerly Extra Old), and 1703. Each of these expressions is steeped in Mount Bay’s history and uses properties unique to Barbados.
Mount Bay Dark Rum
Mount Bay uses a combination of small Spanish and Scottish pot stills, as well as a Coffey column still. Each of these stills is designed to deliver a different range of flavors.
For example, a Scottish McMillan double retort copper pot still produces heavier-flavored, more palate-clinging rums. In contrast, a traditional column still delivers fruity, grassy, and butterscotch notes.
The same wash is fed to both types of stills in proportion to the distillery’s blending needs, with higher-end expressions receiving a greater proportion of pot still rums.
Mount Bay Black Rum
Using a combination of column and copper pot stills, Mount Bay creates a wide range of flavors from light to dark. Scottish McMillan Double Retort Copper Pot Stills produce heavier flavored, palate clinging rums while Traditional Column Stills are fruity with butterscotch notes.
Mount Bay’s coral-filtered water is drawn from a private artesian well, the same well that has been drawing water since the distillery’s founding in 1703. Barbados’ tropical climate accelerates the aging process and concentrates aromas and flavors during production, giving their rums more complex flavor profiles than spirits barrel-aged in cooler climates.
