Premium aged rum.
Five to twenty year old Caribbean rums, aged in ex-bourbon oak. Not sweet. Won't burn.
"This stylish blend of rums from Trinidad, the Dominican Republic, Venezuela and Panama has become a favourite."
The blend
We set out to make a rum that wasn't sweet but wouldn't burn. Smooth and intriguing, much like a good first date.
Rums from Trinidad, the Dominican Republic, Venezuela and Panama, aged 5 to 20 years in ex-bourbon white oak. Blended in Colombia by a third-generation family. A tour of the Caribbean in a bottle.
The facts
43% ABV. 70cl. No notifiable allergens. Made for sipping, though excellent rum makes mixed drinks better too.

Idle Assembly Rum is inspired by time spent in Dunmore Town on Harbour Island in the Bahamas, where one of the founders, David Flint Wood, has lived for almost thirty years. There used to be a sign at Harbour Island’s Government Dock, a list of rules and regulations, including that there should be:
No loafing or idle assembly
This appeared harsh to us, as a glass of rum and a group of people not doing very much seemed to sum up not only a particular appeal of the island, but also a frame of mind that could export itself.

Not sweet. Won’t burn. Much like a good first date.
Assembly
The case
Six bottles in hessian and tissue.
The hessian is a nod to the old burlap sacks once used to carry produce around the islands. The tissue inside is a replica of a nautical chart of the Bahamas.
