Our Dark Spice Rum is crafted for those who appreciate a deeper, more robust profile. Just like the rums unloaded into Salford Docks during its heyday, this blend features specially selected Caribbean rums from Barbados. The rum is matured for up to 8 years in ex-Bourbon, American white oak casks, imparting a dry, balanced finish. It is housed in a stunning matte-finish glass bottle with a wooden stopper.
🪵 Ex-Bourbon Oak | Matured for up to 8 years in white oak for a woody complexity.
🥥 Coconut & Burnt Caramel | A distinct spice blend featuring vanilla and cloves.

The Dark Spiced is richer and bolder than the Original - warm and inviting on the nose with toasted coconut, molasses and oak. On the palate you get rich caramel sweetness and dark brown sugar, balanced by warming clove and cinnamon, with a touch of oak and dried fruit for structure.
Salford Dark Spiced is 40% ABV and comes in a 70cl matte finish glass bottle.
It's matured in ex-bourbon white oak casks - some aged for up to 8 years - which gives it deep, woody complexity and a dry finish. It's then distilled in small batches at The Dirty Old Town Distillery in Salford.
The Dark Spiced is excellent with ginger beer and a squeeze of fresh lime. For something more dramatic, try the Dark and Stormy float - build the lime, bitters and ginger beer in a tall glass over ice, then gently float the rum on top for a layered effect.
The Original Golden Spiced is lighter and more approachable - smooth, sweet and versatile. The Dark Spiced is aged longer, giving it deeper complexity, drier oak notes, and heavier spice from cloves and burnt caramel. It's a Great Taste Award winner and the go-to for rum drinkers who prefer a bolder, more mature profile.
Yes - the heavier spice notes and aged depth make it particularly well suited to cocktails that need some backbone. It's a great substitute for dark rum in a Dark and Stormy, Rum Old Fashioned, or any cocktail calling for aged Caribbean rum.
