Dark Matter Distillers

Scotland's first distillery designed to produce rum is the creation of brothers Jim and John Ewen. Their Dark Matter rums are made in the distillery in Banchory using sugarcane molasses, and come in a stylish bottle, nicely designed with a look of pharmaceutical packaging. Their spiced rum - with hits of ginger, allspice and green peppercorns - is currently the sole product but a white version plus promised other rum-based concoctions are due.
