The Seaside Town's Sippable Spiced Rum
Blackpool takes its name from the English seaside town famous for its tower and rock candy — fitting for a rum built on real Demerara rum rather than a young neutral column spirit. Lehman "Lemon" Hart made his house the first official rum supplier to the British Royal Navy in 1804, and the brand still chases that navy-style depth.

Tasting Notes
Per brand notes carried by retailers: exotic dried fruit overlaid with island spices — cinnamon, freshly ground nutmeg, cloves and ginger resting on a warm vanilla swirl; developing notes of toffee, butterscotch, cocoa and butter-rum; a distant lingering of gentle bourbon oak and a steeped-tea finish.
How to Enjoy
Sip it neat or over ice like a fine aged rum — that was the design brief. It also lifts an Old Fashioned-style rum cocktail.
