The story behind Rum & Black

When we launched Salford Rum in 2018 we would hand deliver orders around Salford and Greater Manchester.

Our early customers would tell us great stories of them, their parents and grandparents working on the docks. They’d tell us about the rums and other imports. Time and time again they’d mention one drink.

Rum & Black.

What is Rum & Black?

Typically a blend of rum with blackcurrant cordial or crème de cassis, Rum & Black was enjoyed down the working men’s clubs around the docks and throughout Salford.

This is our take on a classic. The drink of the dockworkers.

Crafted at The Dirty Old Town Distillery in small batches of just 300 bottles, and produced with locally sourced blackcurrants from The Promise Co. to deliver a smooth, sweet and moreish blackcurrant liqueur with a warming rum hit.
