Best sipping rums to have straight or on the rocks

Bringing together rums from Ghana, Vietnam and the Philippines – yes, really – Elizabeth Yard Sherry Cask Edition is refined in sherry casks, as the name suggests, to create a spirit that’s characterised by rich tropical notes, luxurious depth and lingering warmth. The bottle is of particular note, inspired by an original Navy rum flagon, while the vibrant pattern takes its design cues from a motif invented for, and applied to, naval ships as a unique form of camouflage. Flavour-wise, it’s all about treacle and marzipan with demerara sugar and candy floss. Classic sherry notes of raisin and spice rounds things off rather nicely.
