Dà Mhìle’s Dark Skies Rum was launched in 2021 to celebrate the Cambrian Mountains Dark Skies initiative, honouring one of the UK’s premier stargazing regions. It’s a wholly organic rum—fermented, distilled and bottled on-site at the award-winning farmhouse distillery in Llandysul, Ceredigion. The spirit is matured in oak casks and bottled at 40 % ABV. Vegan-certified, it’s styled to work equally well as a neat sipper or in mixed drinks, from a Dark Skies Mojito to a Rum & Coke Float.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Warm, subtle sweetness with evocative notes of treacle, vanilla and ripe banana alongside dried fruit aromas (dates, raisins).

• Palate: Soft oak influence carries through, bringing gentle tobacco tones and a touch of caramelised sugar; underlying vanilla and raisin sweetness balances the wood.

• Finish: Mellow and lingering, with oak-spice warmth and a faint tobacco-leaf echo that fades to a gentle, sweet fade
