Product Information

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. Dee is also a hugely passionate sustainability campaigner. She led ‘Turn the Tide on Plastic’, the first mixed gender youth team to compete in the Volvo Ocean Race 2017/18, a campaign that raised awareness of plastic pollution in our oceans and inspired people to act in their day to day lives. She is also an adviser to A Plastic Planet, a charity fighting to reduce the use of plastic worldwide.

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. You already know that we’re the rum brand devoted to saving endangered sea turtles and that, to date, we’ve helped more than 35,000 baby sea turtles begin their own journey into ‘the lost years’. Shake all the ingredients together, including the nutmeg, with crushed ice - then simply pour into your glass. Garnish with a mint sprig.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. This unrivalled blend offers the best of both worlds – a luxurious amber liquid that combines the rich woody flavours of great aged rum, with the fresh earthiness of unaged Rhum Agricole. But how good is our rum and is it worth taking a risk on a new brand to try it? The answer, of course, is a resounding yes! But don’t just take our word for it. We are excited to announce a new partnership with Lost Years Rum, an award-winning spirit brand with a purpose. What is its purpose? To create a range of outstanding rums, devoted to saving endangered sea turtles. Why? Each year thousands of newly hatched sea turtles scramble across tropical beaches and disappear beneath the ocean. Need more assurance? Just look at our awards cabinet!
