Lady Franklin Golden Botanical Rum

Fermented and distilled in Kent with a melange of botanicals
and spices, we tuned Patience to replicate the smoothness and complexity of a Jamaican double-retort still. The botanicals follow the journey of Lady Jane Franklin; adventurer, botanist and reformer. We begin with mountain pepper from Tasmania, where she shook up high society in the 1830’s by replacing dances with lectures on science and botany. We mark her final days with the scurvy grass of Out Stack, where she would travel to be under the same Northern Lights as her husband, Sir John Franklin, lost on his quest for the Northwest Passage: one warm line through the frozen wilds, finally discovered accidentally during one of the expeditions to find him.

Available in single 70cl bottles, cases and 5cl miniature bottles which make great wedding favours.

ABV: 40% (Vegan and Vegetarian friendly).

Botanicals

Ginger when distilled adds sweet autumnal notes, complimenting the spicy orange and adding extra depth and complexity.

These bluish purple berries are the basis and therefore the signature of all gins, and the prominent flavour in traditional gins. Although it has a berry-like appearance due to its fleshy skin, the juniper berry is not actually a true berry but a female seed cone from a conifer. Juniper berries have a strong and assertive pine flavour; the flavour is mostly woody, but it can have some slightly citrus and floral tones to it.

Fennel adds a further anise flavour but with some more depth and complexity. The seeds are taken from the flower of the fennel plant after it's bloomed and browned, when the seeds are at their ripest.

Cardamom works very well when combined with orange and juniper, adding perfumed herbal notes.

Nutmeg brings a complex, sweet and seasonal flavour which compliments and enhances the fresh orange taste.

This traditional winter spice is native to the Indonesian Maluku Islands. We use Cloves to give our Cranberry & Gin a unique aromatic flavour, that is simultaneously strong, sweet and peppery.

Sweet orange zest is the outer orange peel, packed with essential oil it contains the aroma and flavour, bringing characteristics of freshly squeezed oranges.

Native to South East Asia, kaffir lime leaves are utilised as an Indonesian insecticidal medicine and are also frequently used in Thai cuisine to add a zesty, aromatic yet astringent flavour. The Kaffir lime leaves mix well with the lemon and bitter orange to give an all round full bodied fruity citrusy flavour.

Considered one of the 50 fundamental herbs in Chinese medicine Cassia is often used as an alternative to cinnamon, which is in the same family and genus. This often leads to confusion between the two botanicals in both taste and texture. Cassia bark adds a strong cinnamon style flavour with an extra peppery punch.
