Introducing the vibrant and conscious rum brand, Manatii 

What could be better than a rum that is eco-friendly? A rum that is delicious, celebrates Caribbean culture and has a charitable mission, of course. 

Not only does it have a gorgeous and summery design, but Manatti rum offers a flavour palette so different to other more ethanol-tasting spirits. The golden hued spirit has a sweet and fruity taste, reminiscent of the Caribbean cooking we all love and crave so much. 

The brand was born with an ethos; to support in the catastrophic wake of Hurricane Dorian, a dreadful storm that battered communities across the Bahamas. The Founders wanted to help rebuild these hubs of life and love, and pledged to donate 5% of each bottle sale to The Green Turtle Cay Foundation – a Bahamian-based charity focusing on rebuilding the islands after the catastrophic hurricane. 

The pleasant aroma and subtle taste makes the rum easy to sip neat, or it makes powerful versions of some of the most classic of cocktails. Tasting notes of Manatii, on the nose, offers aromas of sweet, ripe breadfruit with early, grassy notes of sugarcane. On the palate, the secret fruit blends with subtle hints of vanilla before a bold banana finish. 

The rum is expertly distilled in the UK to diminish international transport but the distiller, Sylvester Herman, is from St Lucia, maintaining its authenticity. All rum is produced within bespoke stills using a 300-year-old St Lucian family recipe and process that brings out deep and immense flavours.  

The serve certainly gets our seal of approval at On In London, and for just £40.00 per bottle – whilst safe in the knowledge that you are supporting a worthy cause – the drink proves an ideal Christmas gifts for loved ones this year. If that doesn’t float your boat enough, the brand also has arrange of miniatures, fashion tees and branded caps – all available to purchase online at: www.manatii.co.uk  

To escape the chilly weather, we recommend transporting yourself to the golden Caribbean sand beaches with this Manatii twist on a classic punch.
