The Spirit of Adventure: Why Dead Man's Fingers Rum Stands Out

If you’re looking for a rum that plays by the rules... keep walking. But if you’re into bold flavours, wild ideas, and a brand that gives tradition the finger (literally), then pull up a barstool and let us introduce you to Dead Man’s Fingers.

This is rum - but not as you know it.

Where is Dead Man’s Fingers Rum Made?

Dead Man’s Fingers was born in 2015 at the Rum & Crab Shack in the vibrant seaside town of St Ives, Cornwall. Inspired by the rebellious spirit of the coast, the team set out to create a spiced rum that broke away from the old-school, stuffy rum rules - and nailed it. The result? A fusion of Caribbean rum and Cornish soul, bursting with flavour and unapologetic attitude.

Today, the brand’s home is the Bristol & Bath Rum Distillery - a creative playground for rum lovers, cocktail enthusiasts, and anyone curious enough to try something different. Not only is this where the magic happens, but it’s also a fully-fledged bar and experience space where you can even blend your own version of Dead Man’s Fingers Spiced Rum. How’s that for hands-on?

At The Three Drinkers, we’ve always had a soft spot for Dead Man’s Fingers. Their fearless, flavour-first approach fits perfectly with our own ethos - make great drinks, don’t take yourself too seriously, and always keep things fresh. Whether we’re sipping their Vanilla rum in a variation of a Daiquiri or adding a dash of Pineapple Rum to a party punch, Dead Man’s Fingers never fails to surprise us - in the best way.

What Does Dead Man’s Fingers Rum Taste Like?

In a word? Fun. This isn’t your granddad’s dusty bottle of rum. Each expression is packed with bold, punchy flavour, designed to stand out in cocktails - or straight up over ice. From tropical fruits to rich desserts, there’s a Dead Man’s Fingers for everyone. So, without further ado, let’s get to it; here’s an introduction to some of those stunning bottles:

Spiced Rum

The icon. This is the rum that started it all - warm, smooth, and just the right amount of cheeky. With flavours of saffron cake, caramel, and orange peel, it’s a versatile base for just about any cocktail. But honestly? It’s just as satisfying sipped slowly over ice while plotting your next big adventure.

Coconut Rum

Like sunshine in a bottle, think creamy coconut, a buttery vanilla finish, and enough tropical attitude to convince you it’s summer all year-round. It’s the ultimate go-to for a Coconut Mojito, but we also love it shaken into a tropical Espresso Martini for a playful twist.

Pineapple Rum

Grilled pineapple with a caramel glaze - that’s the flavour vibe here. This rum has a smoky-sweet edge that works wonders in tiki-style cocktails or even splashed into ginger beer for a tangy surprise. It's also a crowd favourite for brunch pitchers (yes, really).

It’s no wonder Whitley Neill has become the UK’s #1 premium gin brand. They’ve been flavour trailblazers from the start, with Johnny Neill being one of the first distillers to shake things up using non-traditional botanicals.

Whisky Enthusiasts Unite: Why Bankhall Should Be on Your Radar

When you think of whisky, Scotland might be the first place that comes to mind. But hold onto your Glencairn glass—because Bankhall is rewriting the whisky rulebook with something truly unique. As part of the only company distilling whisky in Scotland, England, and Wales, Bankhall is bringing a fresh, innovative approach to Great British Whisky. And trust us, it’s well worth paying attention to.

A Historic Name with a Modern Twist

Bankhall may sound like a new player, but the name has a long and fascinating history. Back in 1887, whisky writer Alfred Barnard documented his travels around the UK’s distilleries, noting four in England that were producing consumable alcohol at the time. One of those? Bank Hall Distillery in Liverpool. Today, the name lives on with Bankhall Whisky, blending tradition with an exciting new vision for British whisky.

What Does Bankhall Whisky Taste Like?

Bankhall isn’t about following the crowd. Being able to source and blend whiskies from Scotland, England, and Wales, they have an unrivalled ability to craft different styles to suit every palate so whether you’re a die-hard whisky lover or just getting into it, Bankhall offers something for everyone. Here’s a look at their range:

Bankhall British Single Malt

Looking for a whisky that ticks every box? Bankhall British Single Malt is where tradition meets contemporary craftsmanship. Matured in a combination of 75% ex-Bourbon and 25% American Virgin Oak casks, it has a gorgeous rich amber colour. Expect ripe plums, vanilla cream, and a citrus twist on the nose, followed by indulgent layers of dried fruit, cinnamon, dark chocolate, and a splash of espresso on the palate.

It’s the kind of dram that’s brilliant straight up, gloriously smooth over ice, and a total showstopper in an Old Fashioned. Drinking it feels like wrapping yourself in a cozy jumper on a cooler evening — perfect for those soft fireside chats.

ABV: 40%
Size: 700ml

Bankhall Blended Whisky

Meet Bankhall Blended Whisky – a homegrown hero boldly stepping into the ring with the likes of Famous Grouse, Jim Beam, and Johnnie Walker Red Label. This isn’t your average blend. Crafted from a trio of malt, corn, and rye whiskies drawn from Scottish, Welsh, and English distilleries, it channels serious Bourbon vibes while still flying the British flag high. Pour yourself a glass and you’ll notice sweet caramel, and an intriguing herbal lift from the rye. On tasting? Think buttery sweetness, toasted wood, and a solid malty core, wrapped in a kiss of rye spice.
Your go-to bottle for easy evenings and fuss-free cocktails, try it with cola, or in a Whisky Ginger as a real treat. This is the whisky for garden parties, firepit nights, or just upgrading your go-to mixer.

Bankhall Cigar Malt

Now here’s a dram that means business. Bankhall Cigar Malt is unapologetically bold, aged entirely in Virgin American Oak casks, and crafted with one very specific mission: to be the ultimate cigar companion. But don’t be fooled — even if cigars aren’t your thing, this whisky is still absolutely worth exploring. Aromas of classic vanilla greet you, but the palate is where the drama unfolds: smooth caramel, warming clove and cinnamon, and a punch of spicy wood tannins.

At 43% ABV, it’s strong enough to stand tall alongside rich tobacco, but balanced enough to sip solo. Try it neat for the full effect, or pair it with a dark chocolate Old Fashioned to match its richness. Perfect to sip on while lounging on a comfy chair, jazz in the background. Cheers!

Brilliant Brugal - Andrés Brugal Edition 02

Founded in 1888 Brugal, one of the Dominican Republic’s most enduring rum producers, has built a reputation over more than 130 years for its dry, oak-driven style and consistent quality. Based in Puerto Plata, the family-run distillery is a cornerstone of Dominican rum culture, known primarily for its core range of approachable, aged expressions. However, with the release of Andrés Brugal Edition 02, the brand is stepping into more ambitious territory, producing a rum that leans into more depth and nuance.

Brugal’s Andrés Brugal Edition 02 was developed by Jassil Villanueva Quintana, the brand’s fifth-generation master blender. The expression is designed as a nod to the legacy of founder Andrés Brugal and the generations of rum makers who followed him.

Edition 02 is also a reflection of Brugal’s long-standing relationship with the United States, one of its key international markets. The rum was created using four carefully selected American oak casks, each chosen for its specific influence on the final blend. The goal wasn’t to create something flashy, but to explore how different casks could subtly shape the profile of a matured Dominican rum.

Each cask contributed something slightly different—some adding soft oak and dried spice, others leaning more into citrus and caramel. When combined, they created a rum that balances Brugal’s usual dry style with richer, more layered flavours.

Rather than pushing for extremes, Edition 02 seems to focus on restraint and balance, aiming for a complexity that reveals itself gradually. It’s less about reinventing Brugal’s identity, and more about showing how small shifts in cask selection and blending can expand it.

Bottled at a higher strength than Brugal’s standard offerings, Edition 02 has more weight and presence on the palate. It’s a sipping rum through and through—better served neat or with a splash of water than in a cocktail.

While Brugal’s core expressions are often associated with lighter, more mixable rums, this limited release aims squarely at a different audience: collectors, connoisseurs, and drinkers looking for something more contemplative.

Packaged in a substantial bottle with an understated design, Andrés Brugal Edition 02 feels more like a statement of intent than a mainstream release. It signals that Brugal is not just a heritage brand, but one that’s ready to experiment with aging and finish techniques to push its rum into new territory.

There are 416 decanters.

Colin's Best Gins for Spring

As the seasons change and the days grow longer, spring calls for lighter, fresher flavours, and what better way to celebrate than with a carefully chosen gin? Springtime gins capture the essence of renewal and vitality, often featuring bright botanicals, floral notes, and zesty citrus profiles that perfectly complement the season’s energy. Whether it's a vibrant citrus-led London Dry, a delicately floral craft gin, or an inventive new-wave spirit featuring fresh herbs and wild botanicals, spring gins offer a refreshing twist to traditional favourites.

From classic distilleries to boundary-pushing newcomers, the world of spring-ready gins is full of options that celebrate the spirit of the season, light, invigorating, and bursting with the fresh flavours of nature’s awakening.

This combination captures the essence of Japan’s seasons and landscapes. Roku Sakura Bloom blends these delicate local ingredients with traditional gin botanicals like juniper, resulting in a complex yet harmonious profile. On the nose, expect floral notes of cherry blossom and a hint of green tea earthiness. The palate is smooth and balanced, offering a citrus freshness that melts into the warm spice of pepper.

Glen Moray: The Speyside Gem You Can't Miss

Nestled in the heart of Speyside, along the tranquil banks of the River Lossie, lies a distillery that's been quietly crafting exceptional Scotch whisky for over a century—Glen Moray. Back in 2019, we had the absolute pleasure of filming The Three Drinkers do Scotch Whisky there, diving deep into their rich history, unwavering passion, and, most importantly, their delightful drams. But what sets Glen Moray apart from the rest? It's simple: they produce top-quality whisky that's ridiculously easy to enjoy, no matter your experience level.

A Legacy of Craftsmanship
Glen Moray's story begins in 1897 when the Elgin West Brewery, established in 1830, was transformed into the whisky distillery we know today. From the outset, they showcased a pioneering spirit by experimenting with various cask finishes, a practice that was ahead of its time and has since become a hallmark of their innovative approach.

What's Glen Moray Whisky Like?
To put it plainly - Glen Moray is a whisky for everyone. Whether you're a seasoned sipper or just starting your whisky journey, there's something here for you. They use pure water from the River Lossie, locally sourced non-GM malted barley, and traditional copper stills to craft a lineup of whiskies that range from light and sweet to rich and complex. Their Classic Single Malt is smooth, balanced, and packed with vanilla, orchard fruits, and a zing of citrus - think of it as the gateway dram to their entire collection.

Glen Moray Explorer Range

Glen Moray has never been afraid to experiment. In fact, they've been playing with cask finishes since their inception in 1897 - well before it was the cool thing to do. They source top-quality American and European oak casks, using both first-fill and refill barrels to create a range of distinct flavour profiles. Their Explorer Range features six whiskies, each offering something unique:

Glen Moray Classic Single Malt

This is the dram we keep coming back to, and for good reason. Matured in American oak, it’s a gentle, smooth sipper bursting with orchard fruits, vanilla, and a citrusy zing. It's basically sunshine in a glass, and at under £25, it might just be one of the best bargains in the single malt world. Enjoy it neat, over ice, or mixed into a whisky sour—it's endlessly versatile.

Glen Moray Sherry Cask Finish

Glen Moray’s take on this Speyside classic is indulgent, rich, and ridiculously sippable. Finished in Oloroso sherry casks, this one brings notes of sultanas, dark chocolate, cinnamon, and sticky toffee pudding. There's a real festive feel to it, like a whisky-sized hug. Mix it into a Moray Clan cocktail (whisky, cream, and amaretto) or just enjoy it by the fire with your slippers on.

Glen Moray Chardonnay Cask Finish

If you like your whisky to come with a side of intrigue, this one’s for you. The Chardonnay casks bring out caramelised tropical fruit, nutty vanilla, and a warming spice that creeps up slowly. It’s rich, mellow, and has just the right amount of "ooh, what is that flavour?" Try it with ham and pineapple pizza. We know. Trust us.

Glen Moray Cabernet Cask Finish

Just when you think Glen Moray can't surprise you again, they hit you with this red wine-finished wonder. Matured in French Cabernet Sauvignon casks, it’s bold and full-bodied, packed with jammy red fruits, silky toffee, and a whisper of spice. It’s the whisky you reach for after dinner with a square of dark chocolate. Or three. No judgement here.

Glen Moray Port Cask Finish

A dram that feels like a dessert but drinks like a dream. This expression starts off in ex-bourbon barrels before spending eight months in Tawny Port casks, and the result is an explosion of red berries, raisins, vanilla, and warm baking spice. It’s perfect for mixing into a whisky-based Old Fashioned with a twist - or for just kicking back with on a lazy Sunday.

Glen Moray Peated Malt

Yes, Glen Moray does peat, and yes, it’s glorious. This one is smoky, but not in a "campfire just swallowed your face" way. Think gentle peat, subtle citrus, orchard fruits, and creamy vanilla all dancing together in one harmonious dram. If you're peat-curious, start here. If you're already a fan, you’ll find this a lighter, more playful take on your usual smoky suspects.

Glen Moray's commitment to quality hasn't gone unnoticed. In 2024, their Head of Whisky Creation, Stephen Woodcock, was crowned Global Master Distiller of the Year at the Whisky Magazine Awards. Additionally, their Warehouse 1 "Phoenix Rising" expression received double accolades, further cementing Glen Moray's reputation for excellence.

If you ever find yourself in Elgin, a trip to Glen Moray's distillery is a must. Their visitor centre offers year-round tours and tastings, providing an intimate glimpse into their whisky-making process.

Harrison Ford Becomes the Face of Glenmorangie

In a series of twelve episodic films directed by actor and film-maker Joel Edgerton, iconic movie legend Harrison Ford takes us on a behind the scenes journey around Scotland to the historic Glenmorangie distillery in Tain where Glenmorangie has been produced for over 180 years.

The series called ‘Once upon a time in Scotland’, clearly shows that Harrison has a passion for whisky, each episode being a great advert for Scotch Whisky in general, not just for Glenmorangie. Using his trademark wry humour and sense of adventure, Ford along with the Glenmorangie distillery team work together to give a real sense of the people and places behind Glenmorangie whisky. Being an unscripted series, each episode is packed full of real conversations and Ford’s soft spot for Glenmorangie and passion for the project clearly shine through in what is an entertaining 12 part series.

The idea for the episodic films was to go beyond the previous campaign Delicious and Wonderful, which was to introduce drinkers to whisky and Glenmorangie in particular, by sharing a little more of the brands heritage and history. It shows Ford getting to grips with the nuances of Scottish pronunciation and kilt etiquette, and bonding with locals over a dram of single malt. There is a feel of a real Scottish experience from a newcomer’s point of view. Harrison Ford said of the experience “I loved working with the team at the Distillery — they were all great. The whole process of filming was full of unanticipated joys: little unexpected moments. It’s a tribute to Glenmorangie’s sensibilities that they let us be less than totally serious. I think what Joel has produced has a certain charm to it, because it’s unpretentious and just amusing.”

Glenmorangie’s flagship whiskies, Glenmorangie Original 12 Years old and Glenmorangie Infinita 18 Years Old also take centre stage in the episodes. Beyond the film, there is no change to the whiskies Glenmorangie is producing, for now the core range will stay the same and as the packaging has only recently been overhaled, there is no change there either. So, Glenmorangie drinkers can enjoy their dram just as they have done but now in the knowledge that they are sharing their love for the brand with a true global icon!

Once Upon a Time in Scotland will roll out globally from 28 January 2025 spanning online video, connected TV and social media. Six full-length episodes and an array of behind the-scenes content will initially be available to view on glenmorangie.com, with the rest released throughout 2025.
