THE GLOBAL DISTILLERY COMPANY LIMITED

£25

A well-rounded and easy drinking dark rum. Nose – Toffee and tobacco. Palate – Brown sugar notes, wood spice and caramel. Finish – Butterscotch and vanilla. Dark Rum (70cl) 37.5% ABV Traditions: Rum Rations were a standard practice from the 1600 s, but in 1740 it became a formal daily event where each enlisted man received a tot of rum. This was a reward for their hard service at sea, a morale boost and seen as a medicine by some. Although this practice was ended on Black Tot Day (July 31st, 1970) the Royal Navy maintains it strong rum connection and this is a drink to savour with your shipmat

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as THE GLOBAL DISTILLERY COMPANY LIMITED, number 13204340. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
