Jamaica Cove Ginger Black Spiced Rum, 70 cl

The smugglers of Cornwall land in the dead of night in small skiffs in the surrounding coves of Falmouth.

According to stories, gangs of wreckers operated on the coast of Cornwall during the early 19th century and it was described as a “haven of smugglers”. The wreckers enticed ships to this coastline by tricking them with beacon lights, which they deliberately lit on the shore. Once the ships floundered on the rocky coast, they were looted by the wreckers.

Under the cover of the Cornish darkness and the moonlight as their guiding light, the landing crew brought ashore their plundered barrels of rums and botanicals from Jamaica ashore. Rumbustious behavior ensues as the smugglers enjoy their rum haul and regale their tales of seafaring skullduggery.
