A double-distilled blend of 18 different intensely aromatic Caribbean rums, varying from light and crisp to more concentrated fruity rums. This renowned rum stands out from the rest. From its very first bottle in 1852 to the one manufactured today, Red Heart is still made the way it has always been – using fine Caribbean pot still rums, aged in white oak casks and blended with care.
Red Heart’s award-winning flavour is bold and distinctive. A rum with heart. Red Heart Rum has a rich history and has developed a strong connection to the military and navy over the years. In 1852, the rum was first bottled and given to British soldiers in the Crimean War. It is believed that a British General once said, “Red Heart! A robust blend of rums that did much to solace the troops.” Just before WWII, Red Heart Rum would find its way to South Africa and go on to hold the title of the number one rum on the market for almost 70 years.
Red Heart Rum collected a Gold Medal in 2009 at the International Spirits Challenge, London. Developed with a rich blend of 13 different rums, Red Heart is aged in American oak casks that come from Barbados, Trinidad, and Jamaica.
Many of us South Africans really don't like the winter - we wish we could wear plakkies and braai outside every weekend. But many of us love it, even if just for the fashion options and the excuse to whip out those fur-lined boots we've had in our cupboard since October last year.
That said, not everyone is prepared for winter. Some folks are still clinging to the last vestiges of summer by attempting to leave the house in the morning with nothing but a flimsy jersey and the aforementioned plakkies. Shame!
Winter is upon us, and if you're not yet prepared for the cold or the fashion, our main deal is sure to help you with both. Check out our sophisticated men's bomber jackets from the one and only Pringle of Scotland.
