Dead Man's Fingers Mango Rum is a flavoured rum that takes the brand's original spiced rum base and layers it with a strong tropical fruit profile. Developed by Dead Man's Fingers, it originates from the Rum & Crab Shack in St Ives, Cornwall, where the brand first established its identity around unconventional, flavour-driven rums. The base spirit is a blend of Caribbean rums, typically sourced from regions such as Trinidad and Barbados, and aged briefly before flavouring is introduced.
This expression is built around mango as the dominant element, with additional notes like vanilla and citrus added to support the profile rather than create complexity. It sits firmly in the flavoured rum category, where the emphasis is on bold, recognisable taste and versatility in mixed drinks rather than traditional maturation or cask influence. The brand itself has grown rapidly in the UK, largely due to this approach - creating accessible, easy-to-mix spirits that stand out through flavour rather than heritage alone. It's typically designed for casual serves - most commonly mixed with lemonade or used in simple cocktails like a mango daiquiri - where the fruit character remains the central feature.
