A blend of rum and exotic spices creates a unique and distinctive aromatic profile. Those familiar with saffron cake will certainly find a hint of it alongside notes of Pedro Ximénez ice cream. Next comes a whisper of creamy caramel, followed by vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and, of course, those subtly sweet orange nuances.

Dead Man's Fingers

It all began in Cornwall, where food enthusiasts founded a restaurant full of life, laughter and music, where locals can enjoy the region's finest seafood. And so the Rum & Crab Shack was born. The name “Dead Man's Fingers” is directly inspired by the local crab cuisine. The long, finger-like filaments are called “dead man's fingers” because, according to legend, if you eat them, you'll die (which isn't true, they just taste nasty, which is why they're removed and discarded). So there you have it. A strange name, a skull on the bottle (supposedly the last person to eat the dead man's fingers), a delicious range of spirits inspired by flavors that make us happy!
