Welsh Rum Old Fashioned
Welsh Rum Old Fashioned
Rich, smooth and spirit-forward, the Welsh Rum Old Fashioned puts South Stack Golden Rum firmly at the centre of the glass. A touch of demerara sweetness and aromatic bitters complement the oak-aged character of the rum without hiding it.

- 60ml South Stack Golden Rum
- 5ml demerara syrup
- 2 dashes Angostura bitters
- Plenty of ice, for stirring
- 1 large ice cube, for serving
- Orange peel & cherry, to garnish
How to Make a Welsh Rum Old Fashioned
Add the South Stack Golden Rum, demerara syrup and Angostura bitters to a mixing glass.
Fill the mixing glass generously with ice.
Stir gently for around 20–30 seconds until the cocktail is thoroughly chilled and lightly diluted.
Place a large cube of ice into a rocks glass and strain the cocktail over it.
Express a strip of fresh orange peel over the surface of the drink to release the oils, then add it as the garnish along with a cherry.
The Perfect Serve
South Stack Golden Rum
South Stack Golden Rum is made from scratch here on Ynys Môn before being matured in oak to develop a richer, rounder and more complex character.
The influence of the cask gives the rum the depth needed for a spirit-forward cocktail, making an Old Fashioned one of the simplest ways to showcase it.
Demerara syrup adds just enough richness to round the drink, while aromatic bitters and orange oils complement the warmer notes of the rum without overpowering them.
