About Dead Mans Fingers
Dead Man's Fingers is a cult-status Cornish rum brand that began in 2015 at the Rum & Crab Shack in St. Ives, Cornwall. Created by the bar's founders, the brand quickly developed a devoted following for its distinctive spiced rum inspired by Cornish flavours including Saffron Cake, spiced fruit, and the Shack's famous Pedro Ximenez ice cream. The original Dead Man's Fingers Spiced Rum is crafted from a blend of Caribbean rums from Trinidad and Barbados, typically aged three years, then married and infused with exotic spices and sweeteners. The flavour profile features bright notes of sherry ice cream, caramel, and vanilla alongside exotic fruits like orange and pineapple, finished with warming cinnamon, nutmeg, and a touch of pepper. Now part of Halewood Artisanal Spirits' premium rum portfolio alongside Rum Sixty-Six and Liverpool Rum, Dead Man's Fingers has expanded far beyond its Cornish roots. The range has grown to include inventive flavoured variants including Coconut, Pineapple, Mango, Passionfruit, Raspberry, and now cream liqueurs including Blue Raspberry Tequila. This innovation while maintaining quality has earned multiple awards including San Francisco World Spirits Competition Gold (2022), World Spirits Award Gold (2022), and International Spirits Challenge Gold (2021). Available at major UK supermarkets including Tesco and Iceland, Dead Man's Fingers embodies the spirit of Cornish creativity - combining Caribbean rum heritage with distinctly British innovation and a rebellious attitude captured in their tagline "Give Tradition the Finger."
