Why It’s On Our Shelves
Smooth, spiced & beautifully rounded
Produced in Norfolk by WhataHoot →
A premium Caribbean golden rum given a distinctly WhataHoot twist, WhataHoot Signature Golden Rum combines fine golden rum with a carefully chosen blend of Szechuan pepper, coriander, chocolate and orange.
The result brings together the natural richness of golden rum with layers of spice, citrus and chocolate. Szechuan pepper introduces an aromatic, gently peppery character, coriander adds further complexity, while chocolate provides richness and orange brings a bright citrus contrast.
It's a rum designed to be explored as well as simply enjoyed. Pour it over ice and take your time, add your mixer of choice, or follow WhataHoot's suggestion and pair a glass with a piece of fine dark chocolate.
Dabble, Tinker & Enjoy.
What does WhataHoot Signature Golden Rum taste like?
WhataHoot Signature Golden Rum combines the rich character of Caribbean golden rum with spice, chocolate and citrus.
Szechuan pepper and coriander provide aromatic spice, chocolate introduces a deeper, richer note and orange provides a contrasting citrus lift.
It's an unusual combination that gives this golden rum a distinctive WhataHoot character.
What spices are used in WhataHoot Signature Golden Rum?
WhataHoot blends its Caribbean golden rum with:
- Szechuan pepper
- Coriander
- Chocolate
- Orange
Together they create a balance of warming spice, aromatic character, richness and citrus rather than relying on sweetness alone.
Where does WhataHoot Signature Golden Rum come from?
The premium golden rum originates from the Caribbean before being blended with WhataHoot's distinctive selection of spices.
WhataHoot itself is based in King’s Lynn, Norfolk, bringing its own approach to the Caribbean rum through the addition of Szechuan pepper, coriander, chocolate and orange.
How should you drink WhataHoot Signature Golden Rum?
This is a versatile golden rum that can be enjoyed simply or experimented with.
Try it:
- Neat to explore the individual flavours
- Poured over plenty of ice
- With your favourite rum mixer
- In a rum-based cocktail
- Alongside a piece of fine dark chocolate
The dark chocolate pairing is particularly interesting, complementing the chocolate notes already present in the rum while providing a contrast to its orange and spice.
Does chocolate go with golden rum?
Yes. Dark chocolate can be an excellent accompaniment to golden and spiced rums, particularly when the spirit already contains complementary flavours.
WhataHoot specifically suggests enjoying its Signature Golden Rum with fine dark chocolate, making it a particularly good combination for an after-dinner drink.
Why we like it
This is where WhataHoot's willingness to dabble and tinker really makes sense.
Starting with premium Caribbean golden rum and introducing Szechuan pepper, coriander, chocolate and orange creates something much more distinctive than an everyday golden rum. And we particularly like the suggestion of forgetting the mixer altogether and reaching for some good dark chocolate instead.
