A tribute to the adventurous underwater explorers, SPYTAIL\u2122 Black Ginger Rum is a bold new offering in South Africa\u2019s rum category.\u00a0Truman & Orange, a premium spirits company, \u00a0based in Cape Town, has announced the launch of\u00a0SPYTAIL\u2122 Black Ginger Rum\u00a0in South Africa.\u00a0SPYTAIL\u2122 Black Ginger Rum\u00a0is a spiced rum, imported from France.\u00a0\u00a0Based on a 19th<\/sup>\u00a0Century, French technique, the Caribbean Rum was left to age with fresh ginger and spices in the barrels.<\/p>\n

The same method is used today, as the rum is distilled in the Caribbean and then aged. The rum is transported to\u00a0a small family distillery in the Cognac region of France, where it is aged spiced. Once it is bottled, the rum itself possesses a\u00a0rich amber colour. In terms of the taste, it has a spicy ginger nose, however the sweetness, cuts the through the heat, which tantalises your taste buds and ensures that beverage is well balanced.<\/p>\n

It is smooth on the palate, much like velvet and its deliciously rich finish, makes for pleasurable drinking experience. \u00a0Whether you choose to drink it neat, on the rocks or in a rum-based cocktail, the taste alone will take you on a\u00a0Voyage Extraordinaire.<\/p>\n

The name\u00a0SPYTAIL\u2122\u00a0is inspired by the legendary submarines of old and the bottle\u2019s round shape is based on a Bathysphere (a primitive form of submarine).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In fact, the distillery where\u00a0SPYTAIL\u2122\u00a0is located near the river Charente where some of the world\u2019s first submarines were built and operated. The house legend states that the distillers found sketches of an underwater vessel called \u2018Spytail\u2019 and this is how\u00a0SPYTAIL\u2122\u00a0was given its name.<\/p>\n

SPYTAIL\u2122\u00a0celebrates the French deep-sea pioneers and the submarines within which they plunged to terrifying new depths.\u00a0\u00a0France has a long tradition of pioneering the oceans in both fact and fiction \u2013 from the world\u2019s first mechanical submarine (it was called\u00a0\u201cLe Plongeur\u201d\u00a0and was tested on the Charente River near the\u00a0SPYTAIL\u2122\u00a0distillery) to Jules Verne\u2019s \u201c20,000 Leagues Under the Sea\u201d and of course Jacques Cousteau\u2019s numerous exploits and innovations. \u00a0Today, France continues to be a pioneering force in the exploration of the earth\u2019s last undiscovered frontier.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0SPYTAIL\u2122\u00a0bottle has a porthole embossed on the front and back and hidden within it are the co-ordinates of the final resting place of Jules Vernes.\u00a0\u00a0The navy blue and orange striped label, based on a French Naval signal flag, is adorned with engineering details from original submarine designs.\u00a0\u00a0The heavy stopper is crafted from metal and embossed with the words\u00a0\u201cVoyages Extraordinaires\u201d\u00a0\u2013 a nod to underwater adventurers.<\/p>\n

Elwyn Gladstone, the global brand owner of\u00a0SPYTAIL\u2122\u00a0explains: \u201cThe heritage of\u00a0SPYTAIL\u2122,\u00a0stand out packaging, French craftsmanship and expert rum blending has resulted in an exceptional product that brings something very exciting and new to the burgeoning super-premium rum category.<\/p>\n
