A floral-infused rum for all occasions
Suncamino Floral Rum, the world’s first floral-infused rum, which was conceived in Cape Town, is set to add something special to your summer. This award-winning spirit is not only enjoyed straight up, but is the perfect staple for classic cocktails and a great starting point for some adventurous cocktail mixing.
Stewy van der Berg & Inus Smuts, the creators of Suncamino Floral Rum, say they believe in 3 or 4 ingredient cocktails that would transport the drinker to a specific occasion using fresh, quality ingredients. “The market is seeking health and wellness, and we’re leaning into that with cocktail recipes for the summer that are less sugary, less syrupy and hero the spirit: the smooth-blended, aged Suncamino Floral Rum.”
Suncamino is distilled in Barbados and aged for up to 8 years in ex-bourbon oak-barrels before it arrives in Cape Town. It is then further matured and infused with the natural extracts of hibiscus, honeybush and orange blossom. The result it a gold, smooth rum with a lush floral finish.
With their campaign tagline “Feeling Adventurous?”, this adventure lifestyle brand challenges drinkers to drop their historical perceptions of rum, and to venture out of their comfort zones. And they wouldn’t have to venture too far: Suncamino appeals to the gin drinkers with its floral aspect, the whisky drinkers with its oak-aged character, and the rum drinkers with the innovation within the category.
We invite you to join us in enjoying Suncamino Floral Rum on the rocks or trying one of the delicious drinks developed by the team.
