The Rum – Hattiers

Created in 2017 in the rolling hills and green valleys of South Devon, with sandy beaches and crystal clear waters close by, this is the beautiful backdrop that Philip and his family decided to create their independent rum importing/blending business, with the goal of creating exceptionally blended rum to be enjoyed by those new to rum alongside the rum elite.

After a decade spent in the world of film and television, and media publishing, Philip and his family had a strong desire to create something of their own in the county that they love.

So after spending over eighteen months of their lives researching, developing and crafting the perfect taste, they finally found the perfect blend, with them releasing their first Rum, Hattiers Premium Reserve.

Utilising only the softest Dartmoor water, filtered by layer upon layer of ancient granite, which is then bottled at the source in South Devon.
