About

A blend of aged Rums from Trinidad and Guyana finished in Cognac casks.

Biggar and Leith is a revitalization of an 18th century Spirits business founded by the great-great-great-grandfather of the current owner — Mr. Thomas Gladstone — in Edinburgh. The current iteration of Biggar and Leith is based in New York where they manage their small portfolio of adult beverages which are produced locally and mixed and aged under contract with a distillery in Cognac, France.

The name Spytail Cognac Finished Rum tells you most of the story — following a tradition that has been followed for hundreds of years. Spytail sources aged Rum from Trinidad and Guyana. When the casks arrive on the Atlantic coast of France, they marry the two Spirits and transfer them into ex-Cognac casks for finishing, where they rest for another three to six months.

The Spytail was one of the first mechanical submarines invented in France near the Biggar and Leith distillery partner.

What does Spytail Cognac Finished Rum taste like?

The Flavor Spiral™ shows the most common flavors that you'll taste in Spytail Cognac Finished Rum and gives you a chance to have a taste of it before actually tasting it.

We invented Flavor Spiral™ here at Flaviar to get all your senses involved in tasting drinks and, frankly, because we think that classic tasting notes are boring.

Rum used to be accepted as a form of currency in Europe and Australia, a practice we should probably bring back into fashion.
