The Cape Cornwall Rum Company is run by Co-Founders, Jack Shannon and Harvey Thomas and are based on Cape Cornwall, at the very west of Cornwall. They create the finest rums with a Cornish twist, lovingly made on a family farm in an area that is steeped in smuggling folklore!
In 1925, Harvey’s great great grandfather was surprised to discover bottles of alcohol mysteriously built into the walls of his farm cottage. Legend has it that to avoid high government taxes, rum and other goods were often smuggled into Cape Cornwall by boat and stored in a farm building known as “the Wink”. The Cape Cornwall Rum Company now use that very same building to lovingly age, mix, spice and bottle their specialist rums.
