Our Story
During their time in the Bahamas of the 1970s, the Aitken family fell in love with the island of Rum Cay, captivated by its stunning beauty and storied past.
Once called Mamana, the island became Rum Cay after a shipwreck sent barrels of rum ashore, a moment that changed its identity forever.
While in the Bahamas the Aitken family learned that connection is something you both find and create. With a fresh perspective, the family returned to Scotland and as a reminder of the lessons they learned in the Bahamas, they built and named their house Rum Cay.
Rum Cay proved the right company can make you feel free, included, and at home. With those lessons in hand, we’ve made the story of Rum Cay our own. Taking our heritage and embracing the values of Rum Cay we have combined Bahamian spice with Scottish spirit to create Rum Cay Rum.
Our Ethos
Rum Cay is the home of free spirits.
We care about connection over consumption, crafting rum for those who embrace the unexpected, and live freely in the moment.
We’ve redefined spiced rum with real flavour, by prioritising quality, authenticity, and the spirit of meaningful connection. Because we need to preserve the kind of drinking that means something.
Inspired by the island and the home that shares our name, Rum Cay brings people together through the spirit of belonging. A table that always had room for one more. Glasses that were never quite empty. Conversations that stretched long past dinner. That’s what we bottle.
