World Rum Day is coming up on Saturday 8th July 2023 and there is no better way to celebrate than with Beckford’s Rum, one of the fastest growing rum brands in the UK. Beckford’s Rum is behind the Maroon Rum range, a collection of flavoured rums inspired by the legendary Maroons of Jamaica. These rums are created by Chef Collin Brown, a three-time winner of Caribbean Chef Of The Year and the official Culinary Ambassador for Jamaica.
You can catch Chef Collin Brown on Sunday brunch this coming weekend on Channel 4, where he will be cooking with Maroon Overproof rum and showing you how to make delicious Caribbean dishes. He will also introduce you to his new launch, Maroon Rum Punch, a ready-to-drink 250ml can at 10.8% ABV that has sold 6000 cans in 4 weeks. This is the most authentic Caribbean Rum Punch you can find, made with fresh fruit juices, spices and a generous splash of Beckford’s Maroon Overproof Rum.
Maroon Overproof Rum is not for the faint-hearted. It has a strength of 65% ABV and a label that reflects the rebellious spirit of the Maroons. The Maroons were fierce fighters who resisted British colonialism in the early 1700s and secured their freedom and land. Their leader, Nanny of The Maroons, was a national hero who had supernatural powers and is featured on the Jamaican $500 bill.
Collin is also a Maroon himself, born and raised on a Maroon village in the Trelawny Parish. He has a passion for rum and uses it extensively in his cooking, especially for marinades and sauces. He has developed three flavours for Maroon Rum: Pineapple and Coconut, Banana, and Coffee and Cacao. These flavours represent the core ingredients of the region and add a depth and complexity to any rum cocktail.
So don’t miss this opportunity to celebrate World Rum Day with Chef Collin Brown and Beckford’s Maroon Overproof Rum. You will discover a new world of flavours, aromas and stories that will transport you to the Caribbean.
