Pulling a New Pin: Blackcurrant Rum in Aluminium – A Bold New Chapter
Breaking the Mould: Blackcurrant Rum in Aluminium – A Bold New Chapter
At Pull The Pin Spirits, we believe in shaking things up. Whether it’s crafting boldly flavoured rum or challenging tradition with innovative packaging, we stand by the belief that great things happen when you pull the pin. Now, we’re taking that spirit of innovation even further with the release of our Blackcurrant Rum—a limited-edition flavoured rum in aluminium bottles.
Why Blackcurrant? A Fruit-Infused Rum That Packs a Punch
Blackcurrant isn’t just any fruit—it’s rich, intense, and unapologetically bold. We wanted to create a fruit-infused rum that wasn’t just sweet but had depth and character. Blackcurrant delivers that perfectly, with a balance of jammy richness and tart vibrancy that pairs seamlessly with our carefully crafted premium British rum.
Why Aluminium? A Trial with Purpose
For this release, we’ve stepped away from our classic glass rum bottles and opted for aluminium bottle packaging instead. But why?
- Lightweight & Durable – Ideal for those on the move; from military camp to home, or out with mates.
- More Sustainable – Ticks the eco -credentials as it’s highly recyclable AND you can easily reuse the bottle as it will have a screw lid.
- Keeps Rum Cooler – A bonus for those who enjoy their rum chilled - which is a debate all on it’s own. We’ll get back to the ‘to chill or not to chill discussion!’
This isn’t just an experiment for one product—we’re considering aluminium for our upcoming miniatures.
A New Pin, A New Chapter
Just like our standard range, this limited-edition British craft rum comes with a ‘pin design’. This time it is a side pull pin. The pin is a symbol of release and celebration—because when it’s time to mark a moment or if it’s just time to relax, you Pull The Pin.
Limited Run – Big Impact
This limited-edition rum is part of a small-batch trial, but we’re watching closely to see what you think of it. If it proves popular, you may just see more flavoured rums in aluminium bottles in the future. And if not…we’ll think of something else!
