Newfoundland Screech Honey Rum
The brand calls this the first honey flavoured rum on the market. A silver medal followed in 2014.
Screech Honey Rum lists honey and citrus, with vanilla and spice, and says no sugar is added. The same site says the rum has been imported from Jamaica for over 200 years. Bottling sits with the provincial liquor corporation, the same as the dark original.
A spiced version on the site is marked for the US market only. This honey bottle is the one the Canadian site sells beside the original.
