We believe that rum is set to take off in the UK and the spirits revolution that started with gin is now moving to dark spirits. So, we’ve reviewed and re-vamped our range to make sure our customers can make the most of this exciting and growing category. We’re delighted to present our new Rum brochure filled with information on the history of rum, its production and our extensive range

Rum as a category is subject to few rules and as a result it is bursting with an array of flavours. That’s why we at Matthew Clark love it so much, it offers so much variety and versatility - an aged demerara rum is a totally different beast to a dry white Spanish style rum, both equally good but at different ends of the flavour spectrum.

Our range

Great on its own as a sipping drink it is perfect mixed and features in many classic cocktails. Our range covers all corners of the globe with English style Rums from the Caribbean, Spanish style Rums from central and South America as well as French style Rums from Martinique.
