So smooth it's strange

great spiced rum, no pretentious nonsense.
Who we are

Two mates, one strange idea

Born and produced in Manchester, built by two best mates — Reece and Tom — with a serious love for spiced rum. Strange Cane is premium rum without the pretentious nonsense.

It's made to drink neat and actually enjoy — no wincing, no pretending. Every bottle is full strength at 40% ABV, packed with bold flavour and a proper fiery kick, and so smooth it's strange. We back ourselves to be smoother than any other full-strength rum out there.

Strange Cane
Rum for the rocks

No wrong way to drink it

Mix it, shake it, sip it neat, pour it over ice, or take it on an adventure in a hip flask — there's no wrong way to drink it. We call it a rum for the rocks, but it's yours to enjoy however you like.

Strange Cane range
20+ flavours and counting

We don't stand still

We've released over 20 flavours to date, and we're always exploring new ones for our Rum Club community. The OG is the only rum that's always stocked — every other flavour is made in small batches and rotated regularly, with frequent seasonal limited editions.

So if you find one you love, don't take it for granted. Once a small batch sells through, we can't promise when it'll be back.
