Need more assurance? Just look at our awards cabinet! We’ve secured 15 awards in just 18 months – high scores and shining medals from some of the world’s toughest professionally-judged, blind-tasted spirit competitions. We’re running out of room to share all our medals, but we can now say that every one of our bottlings is an award-winner.
Lost Years Rum was launched by husband and wife team Lee & Trudy Smith in November 2020. The idea was hatched on a family holiday in Jamaica, the Caribbean island famed not only for its fine rum, but also for its sea turtles. The pair can’t take all the credit though – the inspiration in fact came from their young son, Billy, who has adored sea life and particularly sea turtles for as long as he can remember.Our multi award-winning signature blend, Four Island, is a union of world-class single estate rums made from two different base ingredients, molasses and fresh sugar cane juice. The turtles are ‘lost for years’ before being seen again, why that is, is unknown. But we do know that without assistance now, these wonderful creatures are in danger of extinction. We’ve married three wonderful barrel-aged rums – an eight-year-old rum from the legendary Foursquare Distillery in Barbados, a five-year-old from the Dominican Republic and a two-year-old pot still rum from a multi-award-winning estate in Jamaica.
The rums under the Lost Years banner are a celebration of the Caribbean's centuries-old rum-making traditions. They are a curated blend of rums sourced from distinguished distilleries across the region. Each rum is chosen for its unique character and flavour profile, ensuring that the final product is a harmonious blend of the best the Caribbean has to offer. HOW: Shake all with ice / Double strain over either crushed ice or a large cube (whatever you prefer) in a glass according to your serving of choice. We’ve then added the x-factor - a ’punch’ of authentic unaged Rhum Agricole from Guadeloupe - to bring a vibrant and grassy freshness to the blend.Every year thousands of newly hatched sea turtles scurry across tropical beaches and disappear beneath the waves. They won’t be seen again for up to a decade. Where they go during these ‘lost years’ is one of nature’s great mysteries, but what we do know is that these ancient creatures are today in danger of extinction and, without our help, could soon be lost forever. Shake all the ingredients together, including the nutmeg, with crushed ice - then simply pour into your glass. Garnish with a mint sprig. The result is a core blend that's classically Caribbean: fruity and aromatic with juicy notes of tropical fruit, combined with the warm smokiness that comes from those years spent in lightly charred barrels previously used for maturing bourbon.
Dee is well known for some truly outstanding sailing achievements. From becoming the first woman to sail solo, non-stop, around the world against prevailing winds and currents, to being the first woman to have sailed single-handed and non-stop around the world in both directions. If this has given you inspiration to get on board and make the most out of your precious holiday time, then take the helm and build quote for a sailing adventure that is right for you! Leaving the nutmeg to one side, shake all the ingredients together, then pour over ice into a high ball glass. Sprinkle nutmeg on top and serve.HOW: Add all ingredients to your glass / Fill halfway with crushed ice / Churn or swizzle until well mixed / Add more ice until full. Now, who said rum punch couldn't be sophisticated?! Next on the menu, a Lost Years riff on the classic Rum Punch that plays to the drink's Caribbean roots, with its strongest unaged rum, the Master award-winning Navy Strength - at its heart. This 54.5% ABV rum comes from the spiritual home of the rum punch, delivering a classic that punches well above its weight. Pure and unadulterated with absolutely no sugar or colouring added post distillation, it’s also vegan friendly and gluten-free.
