Product Information

Of course, there is no limit to the imagination when it comes to rum as an ingredient in baking . Arguably the most famous desert with the key component in the name is Baba au Rhum. But have you ever tried making something more unconventional like a rum tiramisu, boozy banana bread or coconut rum balls? Traditionally made with Marsala, the spiced rum tiramisu version is simply out of this word! The combination of coffee, cream, cacao powder and spices will leave even the toughest critics in awe. If you wish to fully enjoy the rich aromatic qualities and delicate flavour compounds of your rum, you better aim to down it within six months to a year after opening it. Once opened, after a certain time, aromas inevitably weaken and the rum slowly loses its richness and colour, taking away from your flavourful experience. That's why it's best to enjoy and appreciate all the hard work and efforts put into the final product by the rum distillers by consuming this glorious drink at the peak of its existence. Producing spiced rum isn’t as hard as you thought it would be was it? In fact, we’d say that the hardest part of making the best spiced rum is figuring out the perfect blend of spices and ageing time which is why we keep our SLY DOG recipe top secret. Now that you know all about spiced rum, why not give SLY DOG Rum a try? First things first, always store your liquor in a dry and slightly cool place without strong light exposure and away from any heaters or the oven. An ideal place is a pantry or a bar cabinet for example.

Rum-infused ice cream is the ultimate choice for the summer. It can be enjoyed by itself, used as a base for a Banana Foster or even mixed with a shot of espresso for an affogato with a twist. Great chefs aren’t afraid to use alcohol in the kitchen, and thanks to rum’s broad flavour spectrum, it could be an ideal addition to practically any recipe. You can use all kinds of spiced rums to create a wide array of dishes: from rum-based salad dressings, BBQ- sauces and fish courses to numerous baked goods and even soups. It’s a perfect combo: you support small businesses and get the treatment you know you deserve with cleverly designed products consisting of top-quality ingredients - something that the big fish of this business often overlook for the sake of quantity! Don’t believe us? We dare you to see for yourself with the 20cl Sly Dog gift set that consists of our flavoured rum of course, but also artisan fiery ginger beer and barrel aged cola. Trust us, these are the mindblowing flavours that you won’t find just anywhere!Sometimes, producers even add the spices to the liquid before ageing it, capturing even more of the aromas and flavours from the elements used. What matters is that the spices must sit with the rum for a while in a closed compartment to release their full potential. And that's about it. Are spiced rums actually spicy?

However, any health benefits are associated with moderate consumption - as with all alcoholic beverages, it is important to drink responsibly. If your symptoms persist, you should always visit a healthcare professional for further guidance.
