Salford Rum & Black is a blackcurrant-infused rum liqueur inspired by the classic 'Rum & Black' drink - a blend of rum and blackcurrant cordial that was a staple in the working men's clubs around Salford Docks. Our version is made with real locally sourced blackcurrants from The Promise Co. for authentic tartness and depth.
It's bold and nostalgic - rich berry depth from real blackcurrants with a subtle warmth from the rum base. It's sweet and juicy with a slightly tart finish, making it one of the most approachable spirits in the Salford range.
Salford Rum & Black is 28% ABV and comes in a 70cl sprayed purple glass bottle - one of the most distinctive in the range.
Over ice with soda water and a squeeze of fresh lemon for something light and refreshing. For something more celebratory, pour it into a chilled champagne flute - it makes a beautiful, easy-drinking aperitif. It also works well layered in cocktails for colour and berry flavour.
Yes - at 28% ABV with a fruity, approachable flavour profile, it's an ideal entry point into the world of rum. It bridges the gap between fruit liqueurs and fuller-bodied spirits, making it a great gateway to the rest of the Salford range.
The blackcurrants are locally sourced from The Promise Co., a Greater Manchester-based supplier. It's part of our commitment to championing local producers and celebrating what the region has to offer.
