Hattiers Premium Reserve Rum

Product Information

In 2017, fuelled by a passion for sailing, love for rum and the expectation that the popularity of Rum was soon to increase the same way as Gin previously, Philip and the family chose to begin their Rum journey. From the UK’s furthest flung B Corp in the Hebridean Island of Islay, to newly certified B Corp brands changing the way we drink, it was inspiring to learn and connect with like-minded businesses, press, drinks writers, trade and guests. Philip has also been named as a judge for the ‘Rum and Flavoured Rum’ category in this year’s Great British Food Awards. The reigning champion with their Eminence Blended Aged White Rum, Egremont and Resolute were also both finalists in the 2021 competition. Philip will be judging alongside fellow esteemed food and drink judges including Mitch Tonks and Charlie Stein.

Taste; Intensity of fruit; pineapple, apple, banana, mango build with buttery pastry. Darker notes of liquorice linger. As a certified B Corp (and the first rum in the UK to be certified) we go beyond business as usual to make our mark on the world in a positive way. Thinking beyond profit. Going beyond what is expected. Putting people and planet first, and coming together with other wonderful B Corps to prove beyond doubt that there is a better way to do business.The intent of 1% for the Planet is to help fund these diverse environmental organizations so that collectively they can be a more powerful source in solving the world’s problems.” Hattiers achieved an 80.5 score before becoming Certified B Corp and Philip is keen to build on this score with a personal target of increasing the score by 5 points every year.

No added colorants. Non-chill filtered. Ex-bourbon Cask. Matured at source Distillery. Blended and bottled in Devon.Take the mint sprig and clap it between your hands to release the oils so that every sip will be accompanied with the aroma from the mint. It was a rigorous and detailed process which showed us how we can do more to live up to the B Corp commitment. By shining a light on how we work, it confirmed what we already knew – we’re far from perfect!

Since our beginning in2017, Hattiers Rumhas existed as benchmark of where webelieve rum should be. Our purpose has always been bigger than making and selling fine blended rums. Breaking news from the B Corp movement…there are now 1,000 UK B Corps and Hattiers is proud to be one of them! When we gained certification in 2020 there were under 500 UK B Corps, so to reach the 1,000 milestone (and counting) only two years on feels like a huge step in the right direction. 🎉 At Hattiers we source and blend the world’s finest rums to produce a final product that is accessible to all. We are proud to be an honest and bold challenger brand, removing the historic smoke and mirrors of the rum world and championing real unadulterated rum while operating sustainably, placing purpose before profit as the UK’s first B Corp Rum brand, and only the 2nd in the world. A Certified B Corp is the highest calibre of business that balance purpose and profit. There is just 3,720 Certified B Corps in the world at this point, in 150 industries and across 74 countries with over 500 B Corps in the UK. Hattiers was a pending B Corporation for 2 years while the business laid down its foundations and the company officially achieved B Corp Status in November 2020.The three exciting masterclasses will be hosted by Trailer Happiness legend Sly Augustin, while Peter Holland will guide an audience of on- and off-trade professionals through the 2022 International Spirits Challenge gold medal rums in the Going for Gold masterclass. The trio is topped off with Lewis Hayes, director of The London Bar Consultants, who will lead a masterclass on rums from the UK, in a session called Homegrown Talent. Founder of the Great British Entrepreneur Awards, Francesca James, said the quality of this year’s entrants exemplified the strength of entrepreneurship across the UK: “The quality of applications is consistently excellent year on year, but we have been especially blown away by the innovation, drive and determination demonstrated this year. Shortlisting from so many inspiring contenders has been more challenging than ever, with many deserving cases put forward and an ever-growing business community thriving across the country.” Hattiers founder & CEO Philip Everett-Lyons shared our B Corp journey to date, along with details of how he will cross Scotland in a canoe later this year to highlight mental health awareness in men. Hattiers Rum is now the first British B Corp Rum, and only the second in the world. We join a cohort of over 600 UK B Corps who are reinventing business, by pursuing purpose as well as profit.

Francesca continued: “From the pandemic to the ongoing cost of living crisis, business owners haven’t had it easy over the past few years, but it’s a testament to the tenacity and perseverance of these entrepreneurs that they have continued on their path and refused to give in.” These incredible businesses undertake intensive impact assessments to prove their commitment to sustainability and the ‘greater good’ and they are legally required through their company articles to consider the impact of their decisions on their workers, customers, suppliers, community and the environment. In short, this a community of business leaders driving a global movement using businesses as a force for good. Superb Rum. I’m normally into whisky but this has changed my approach to sipping. An exciting start as the bold, woody flavours present and delicious vanilla and soft notes emerge to finish. A pleasantly smooth texture lingers and leaves you wanting more. Complexity for an experienced supper and very inviting for a newcomer to Rum. Well done Hattiers! Makes a phenomenal Mojito too.Nose: Apple strudel with a dusting of cinnamon and nutmeg. Sandalwood fragrance and grilled peaches later on. But by committing to the B Corp ideal, and embedding it legally into our company articles, we are setting out our stall to always try to be better. It’s a badge we wear with pride and an ethos we are committed to upholding. The trio at The Glassmates have a very special place in the heart of all at Hattiers. Our founder Philip met the chaps during the spring/summer of 2020, during their weekly broadcasts. Their breadth of knowledge and approachable pallets across multiplespirits isrefreshing. Elevating your dining experience to new heights this autumn at The Shard, London’s 1,020-foot tall skyscraper Becoming certified B Corp is a massive achievement for us. We are delighted to be among other businesses that contribute to a more inclusive and sustainable economy. Our role now is to share the successes of our fellow pioneers and continue to encourage other businesses, across all sectors and regions, to consider going for it too.
