Rum, Rebellion & Reinvention – Why Rum Month at The Nuthatch Is Unmissable

The Nuthatch · 5 June 2025

A Spirit Steeped in History

Rum's journey began in the 17th-century Caribbean, born from sugarcane molasses and quickly entwined with colonial trade, piracy, and naval tradition. It fueled the infamous Triangle Trade, served as currency, and became a daily ration for British sailors until 1970.

A Modern Revival

Today, rum is experiencing a renaissance. From the Caribbean's Mount Gay Distillery, the world's oldest commercial rum producer, to innovative bars worldwide, rum's versatility is celebrated in classic and contemporary cocktails alike.

Introducing Bottomless Rum Month

This July, The Nuthatch invites you to indulge in Bottomless Rum Month. Enjoy 90 minutes of unlimited rum cocktails from our curated 10-drink menu, paired with a British Charcuterie & Cheese board to share. Highlights include our Chilli & Mango Mojito and the indulgent Rum from the Banana.
