Wise Monkey Cafe Rum 70cl

Coffee-forward rum that shows up loud. Think roasted espresso, cocoa dust, and caramelized sugar, the kind of flavour that makes even a basic mixer taste like you tried.

If you love rum cocktails but get bored of one-note sweetness, this one’s your shortcut to depth. The cafe character brings bitterness and roast, which keeps things balanced and stops your drink from turning into syrup.

It’s built for crowd-pleasers. Swap it into a Cuba Libre when you want more than just cola and rum, or use it anywhere you’d normally reach for coffee liqueur, but with a rummy backbone that keeps things grown-up.

Tasting notes

• Nose: Fresh espresso, toasted oak, cocoa, a little vanilla.
• Taste: Roasted coffee bean, molasses, dark caramel, hints of baking spice, medium-bodied and dessert-leaning without going sticky.
• Finish: Coffee bitterness, cocoa nibs, and a warm brown sugar fade that hangs around.

When you want that “after-dinner drink” energy without fuss, this is the bottle. It plays ridiculously well in an Espresso Martini twist, an iced coffee spike, or anything that needs a roasted edge to feel more layered.

Rum lovers get a new flavour lane to explore, coffee lovers get a boozy upgrade, and home bartenders get an easy way to make cocktails taste more complex with one pour.

Fun Fact: The “cafe rum” idea became popular because coffee’s natural bitterness is basically rum’s best friend, it’s the easiest way to add depth without adding more sugar.
