In 2015, Dark Matter Distillers made history by launching Scotland’s first rum distillery. Defying tradition in a country renowned for whisky and gin, they have been driven by curiosity and a passion for innovation from day one. Since its launch, Dark Matter’s signature Spiced Rum has gone on to become an award-winning premium spirit with accolades including Gold at The Spirits Business Global Luxury Masters on three occasions.
Located in Banchory, in the North-East of Scotland, Dark Matter crafts its signature Spiced Rum at Burnobennie Distillery. Their Spiced Rum offers a bold alternative to conventional spiced rums, delivering a complex and richly layered taste experience. Intensely smooth yet unapologetically punchy, it’s versatile enough to be enjoyed neat, over ice, or as the star of creative cocktails.
Whether savoured as a luxurious sipper or mixed into everything from long drinks to Champagne fizzes, Dark Matter blends the science of distilling with a spirit of exploration – drawing in the curious to experience something truly out of the ordinary.
