The Smokey Carter was born in 2013 inspired by our travels around the world and love of food and barbeque. Cocktails and drinks pairings had always been at the forefront, so in early 2026 The Smokey Cartel was born!
Leaning towards fire and our love of barbeque we wanted to create something truly unique. Something that would incorporate the flames of the fire into our own scratch made British rum. A rum that had depth, attitude, not overly sweet, natural flavour and a kick with an 42% vol.
Real Flavour Forged in the Flame
Most rums are flavoured, ours is forged. We start with a premium, small-batch spiced rum distilled right here in the UK. Then we introduce sweet pineapples, spit-roasted over open charcoal. By flame-scorching the fruit to the point of caramelisation, we unlock a rich, smoky complexity that traditional spiced rums simply can’t reach. It’s tropical, it’s deep, and it’s unapologetically bold.
Premium Crafted Small-Batch British Rum Tasting Notes
A masterwork of smoke and sweetness. Indulge in the deep, caramelised notes of flame-charred pineapple, dark molasses, and toasted spice. With a velvety, smoky finish, it is crafted to be sipped slowly, neat or over ice. An elegant addition designed to elevate the world’s finest cocktails.
Our Signature Roasted Pineapple Daiquiri leans into the smoky, tropical profile of the rum while keeping the classic “sour” structure of a traditional Daiquiri.
Chill your glass: Place a coupe/Nick and Nora glass in the freezer for 5 minutes.
Combine: Add the rum, pineapple juice, lime juice, and bitters into a cocktail shaker.
Ice & Shake: Fill the shaker with plenty of ice. Shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until the outside of the shaker feels frost-cold. This will create the perfect micro foam.
Strain: Double-strain (using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer) into your chilled glass to ensure no ice shards or lime pulp remain.
Garnish: Add your pineapple wedge. If you have a kitchen torch, char the edge of the pineapple right before serving for that extra “flame roasted” aroma.
Our signature cocktail is an absolute classic and after sipping our Flame Roasted Pineapple Spiced Rum neat, this is a must try cocktail that will impress again and again.
