Stolen Smoked Rum

Stolen Smoked Rum. Stolen Rum, Trinidad — the world's first smoked rum, made in Trinidad from locally sourced sugar cane, column-distilled and aged at least two years in American oak ex-whiskey barrels, then infused with 100% Arabica coffee beans from Colombia, fenugreek seeds from Morocco, and vanilla beans from Madagascar, producing a smooth, medium-bodied rum with a generous bouquet of coffee, vanilla, caramel, and dark chocolate mixing with charred oak for a long, smooth, smoky finish.

Stolen Rum launched the Smoked Rum as a genuinely novel category entry — the world's first rum smoked through a specific botanical infusion process rather than peat or wood smoke. The three-ingredient infusion is precisely chosen: Arabica coffee beans from Colombia provide the coffee-roast character and bitter-sweet contrast; fenugreek seeds from Morocco add the distinctive warm, slightly maple-like complexity; Madagascar vanilla beans add vanilla depth and sweetness that integrates the blend. These three botanicals are introduced to a rum that has already spent two years in American oak ex-whiskey barrels, so the wood's vanilla and caramel influence is already established when the smoke and botanical infusion begins.

The result is a rum that occupies a genuine category of its own — not a flavored rum in the sugary, artificial sense, and not a smoked spirit in the peated whisky sense, but something original: a medium-bodied Caribbean rum with a complex botanical infusion that creates a flavor profile of coffee, caramel, chocolate, and charred oak in unusual and appealing combination.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Smooth, medium-bodied with a generous bouquet. Coffee, vanilla, caramel, and the warm botanical complexity of the fenugreek and coffee infusion.
• Palate: Deep profile of coffee, vanilla, warm caramel, and dark chocolate from the botanical infusion blending with the ex-whiskey oak influence. The "smoked" character is from the coffee and fenugreek combination rather than actual smoke.
• Finish: Long, smooth, smoky from the charred oak and coffee combination. One of the most distinctive finishes in the rum category.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What does Stolen Smoked Rum taste like? Generous coffee, vanilla, and caramel bouquet on the nose. Deep coffee, vanilla, caramel, and dark chocolate on the palate with charred oak. Long, smooth, smoky finish.
• What makes it "smoked"? The "smoke" comes from the botanical infusion of 100% Arabica coffee beans and fenugreek seeds — not wood smoke or peat. Coffee beans and fenugreek together create a roasted, smoky character without the harsh bitterness of actual combustion smoke.
• What is fenugreek? A seed spice from the Fabaceae family, widely used in North African and Middle Eastern cooking. It has a distinctive maple-like, slightly bitter, warm complexity that adds an unusual dimension to the Stolen Smoked infusion — one of the ingredients that makes this rum genuinely different from simple coffee-flavored rum.
