Haven't posted a lot in the last week, been busy working on (hopefully) improving the website layout.

So, lets run today with a question for you lovely lot...

What is one bottle on your shelf that you would never replace?

Mine isn't even really a drink in its own right, but always having a bottle of Angostura Bitters on hand is a must.

Two dashes, goes into so many drinks and the difference is night and day.

So what's yours?

If you've bought a bottle from us this year, we'd like to ask a small favour.

Google reviews are how people who have never heard of us decide whether to trust a drink from a new brand. Right now we have a lot of kind words on Trustpilot but very few on Google, Google is where most people look first.

If you have two minutes, tell people what you honestly thought of Expedition Spiced Rum, what you drank it with, whether it's earned it's place on your shelf, whether you'd buy it again. Honest is what helps, good or bad.

The link takes you straight to the review box.

Finally a massive thank you to everyone who has already reviewed us anywhere. Every one gets read and responded to.

Most spiced rum is designed to be mixed. We wanted to make one that could be sipped.

Expedition Spiced Rum is crafted to have enough character to enjoy neat or over ice, while still working beautifully in a mixed drink or cocktail.

And we have the recognition to support that. Expedition won a Silver medal at the International W**e & Spirit Competition for Rum & Cola.

With notes of vanilla, cinnamon, allspice, clove, orange and ginger, Expedition is designed to bring flavour to the glass, whether you're enjoying it neat, with cola, over ice or as part of a cocktail.

Why did we choose maceration as our way of flavouring?

Because we wanted the process to matter.

There are different ways to introduce flavour into a spirit. Essences and extracts have their place, but we chose maceration because we wanted to work with real botanicals and allow their character to develop through the process.

It's not about claiming that one method is automatically better than every other. It's about choosing the method that fits the spirit you're trying to create.

For Expedition Spiced Rum, that means building a blend around ingredients like vanilla, cinnamon, allspice, clove, orange and ginger, rather than treating flavour as an afterthought.

Maceration takes time. It requires patience, consistency and attention to the balance of the finished spirit.

And that's important to us.

Because standards aren't just something you talk about. They're decisions you make before the bottle ever reaches the shelf.

Expedition Spiced Rum is £40.

Standards aren't talked about.

They're lived.

They're in the decision you make when nobody is watching.

In the detail that's easy to overlook.

In refusing to put something out because it's "good enough" when you know it isn't.

In doing something properly when doing it properly costs more, takes longer, or makes life harder.

You don't need to tell people you have standards.

The work you do tells them.

And the people who understand a higher bar, they usually recognise it when they see it.

If this lands with you, you're our people.

We were offered investment. We said no.

Not because we think investment is bad. Not because we think we can do everything ourselves forever.

It simply wasn't right for us at that stage.

When we started Jerry Can Spirits, we wanted to build the foundations ourselves. That meant deciding what the brand stood for, what quality meant to us, and what we were and weren't prepared to compromise on.

Bootstrapping sounds romantic until you're the one paying for the stock, packaging, production and everything else while trying to build a business around a full-time job.

But there's value in having to earn every stage of the journey.

This is part of the story behind Jerry Can Spirits, and why we're building the business the way we are.
