Skerries Dark Rum — Silver Medal Welsh Dark Rum
Skerries Dark Rum is a rich, full-bodied Welsh dark rum from Anglesey Rum Co, distilled on the Isle of Anglesey (Ynys Môn) at Llanfairpwll Distillery.
Awarded Silver with 86 points at the London Spirits Competition 2026, Skerries was recognised across quality, value and packaging — highlighting its real-world appeal behind the bar, on the shelf and in the glass.
Named after the iconic Skerries Lighthouse — standing offshore in the wild waters between Anglesey and Ireland — this rum captures the depth, character and rugged spirit of the North Wales coastline.
Made from 100% pure cane molasses and double pot distilled, Skerries is crafted for richness and smoothness. We also add a touch of molasses post-distillation to build a fuller flavour and a rounded, velvety dark rum profile.
Why This Rum Stands Out
- 🥈 Silver Medal Winner – 86 Points
- 🥃 Made from 100% pure cane molasses
- 🏴 Proudly made on Anglesey, Wales
- 🌊 Inspired by Skerries Lighthouse and the Anglesey coast
- 🔥 Rich, full-bodied dark rum profile
Tasting Notes
Deep molasses and caramel notes lead the palate, followed by warming spice and a smooth, lingering finish. Bold enough for premium mixed drinks, yet mellow enough to enjoy slowly.
Perfect Serves
- Classic: Skerries & Cola with plenty of ice and a wedge of lime
- Ginger: With ginger beer for a darker, stormy-style serve
- Sipping: Neat or over one large cube to explore the molasses-rich depth
Why This Award Matters
The London Spirits Competition judges spirits on quality, value for money and packaging. That means this Silver medal recognises more than taste alone — it reflects a rum that performs commercially and delivers strong shelf and serve appeal.
