The story

Salford Honey Rum is a proud tribute to the local dockworkers - famously known as "worker bees" - and the five bees featured on the Salford coat of arms. We use a single origin pot and column distilled rum, blended and bottled less than two miles from our famous docks using real Salford honey from Bee Corner. The result is a glorious, smooth spirit with natural sweet and floral notes, presented in a rose gold print glass bottle.

🍯 Salford Honey | Real honey from Bee Corner with natural floral notes.

🐝 Honeycomb & Butterscotch | Well-balanced with notes of caramel and soft vanilla.
