Taste Manchester’s first ever rum at Manchester Rum Festival

August 24, 2021

Manchester Rum Festival

If you’re heading to Manchester Rum Festival this weekend [Saturday 28th August], you’re in for a very exclusive treat. Festival owner Dave Marsland and The City of Manchester Distillery have created something special; an entirely unique, never-tasted-before rum solely for ticket holders!

Just 100 bottles of The Double Distillery Pot Limited Edition Column Still Rum will be available on the day. This extra special, limited-edition bottling is a blend of Barbadian rum aged in the Caribbean for 12 years. It then spends a further 5 years in the barrel in the north of England, with Batch No 1. of Manchester’s first ever legally produced rum, from the City of Manchester Distillery.  

The rum is a blend of pot and column distillations. As discerning rum fans may expect from a product of this calibre – neither sugar nor caramel have been added before bottling at 50 per cent abv. The result is delicious hints of raisin and dried citrus peel. This sits behind well balanced, toasted oak, which gives way to blackcurrant leaf and eucalyptus/menthol notes on the finish.

What to Expect

The festival will see over 30 rum brands from around the world. Including some never-tasted-before brands and the world’s first dry spiced Cuban rum. They will descend upon Manchester for a jam-packed day of education, immersion, and celebration of all things rum.  

Dave Marsland, the festival founder, said: “It’s good to be firmly back with bang – and a bespoke bottling to boot. After having to postpone the event we wanted something new, and truly epic to offer those who’ve waiting patiently for the festival to happen. As Manchester’s first and only dedicated rum festival it feels good to bring the city’s first ever legally produced rum to festival goers. Our very own bespoke bottling will be in excellent company among some of the best rum brands in the world.”   

Hailing from Jamaica and Venezuela to Manchester and Lancashire; contemporary brands such as Saint Benevolence, AB Gold, Ninefold and Montanya will be showcased for the first time. Local rum brands Diablesse, Salford, Witch Kings and City of Manchester Distillery are also confirmed as exhibitors. New Cuban rum brand ‘Black Tears’, from the Island Rum Company and the world’s first dry spiced Cuban rum, will be available to taste.   

This year’s festival takes place in 4-star Mercure Hotel in Piccadilly Gardens. It will offer a full bar and food to all ticket holders. 

The tickets are priced at £30 plus booking fee, including all samples. Mercure bar and food not included. A selection of rums will be able to purchase by the bottle to take away.

📍Snaps from our stay at @deadwoodcabins 🤠🇺🇸🌵 a dreamy Wild West inspired retreat in rural Lincolnshire with the cutest cabins, cosy log fires and the best neighbours Dolly and Doris 🐷 cannot recommend this place enough for a little glamping getaway 👌 it was so nice to have a bit of a digital detox - the cabins have games and a private BBQ (you can pre-order food for the BBQ which will be in your fridge when you arrive) so we spent the night cooking dinner and smores, playing scrabble and drinking mulled wine in front of the fire 🥰 there are three different cabins to choose from and all of them are filled with souvenirs and trinkets that make each one unique. There’s also a saloon if you want to go hang (BYOB or there’s an honesty box for beers from the fridge) and you can help yourself to fresh chicken eggs for breakfast too 🍳 thank you to @paarriiee for being such a lovely host, can’t wait to come back 🖤

‘Ndu Y’Olive Me? YES @nellspizza I do 🍕❤️ 
There’s some new menu items that have made it straight to the top of my faves list, including a chopped salad, moreish garlicky dough bites, and a pizza with nduja, olives, vodka sauce and basil 👌 ALSO the cocktails are SO underrated here - the margs are top tier and their new seasonal drinks are a must try. Will be back for the pistachio ice cream sandwich (so hard not to prioritise eating as much pizza as possible and save room for dessert but I will manage it one day) ✌️

NYC day 6 ✌️ 🖤 started with mimosas on our NYC day 6 ✌️
🖤 started with mimosas on our rooftop. Waking up to the nyc skyline is my fave.
🖤 we got the subway to @citifield to watch the @mets ⚾️🏟️ so much fun - would definitely recommend doing this if you’re visiting. The whole experience was one of my favourites of the trip.
🖤 A little wander and some vintage shops on the way back to the hotel before getting ready for dinner.
🖤 Dinner at @ivan_ramen 🍜👌 easily the best ramen I’ve ever had (thanks to @josgoncalves91 for the recommendation - SO glad I went here and would definitely recommend to anyone else. Watch the chefs table episode on Netflix.)
🖤 ended the eve with a couple of amazing cocktail bars - @superbuenonyc (no.2 in North America’s 50 best bars) and @attaboy134 (22 in the worlds 50 best bars)🍸 unsurprisingly both up there on my list of favourite cocktails. Also both really lovely atmospheres and would 10000% return. Attaboy have no menu but you just tell them what you like and what you’re in the mood for and they make you something incredible 👌 it’s also hidden behind a very normal looking door (last pic) so you gotta knock to get in.
Superbueno is Mexican-American, a really fun vibe and also serve food 🌮

Autumn menu PERFECTION at @evelynscafebar ✨👌 Autumn menu PERFECTION at @evelynscafebar ✨👌 one my favourite evenings at one of my favourite spots, and the food is so so good. The menu is mostly small plates (with some biggies in there too) so it’s perfect for sharing with some bottles of wine ofc. 💕
My faves are the Tuna Crudo, BBQ Mackerel (the best mackerel I’ve ever eaten), the steak is 10/10 and honestly Evelyn’s is one of my fave places for the veggie dishes! Oh and the lamb. AND the dessert! Okay I’ll stop. If the fact that every dish on the menu being great isn’t enough to get you there, they also offer 50% off wine 5-7pm weekdays 🍷 which is surely one of the best happy hours in town?! 
20/10 always great and this menu might be the best yet!
