UK-based rum brand Two Drifters is now available to pre-purchase on all short- and long-haul British Airways flights via the High Life Shop.<\/p>\n

The \u2018world\u2019s first\u2019 carbon-negative rum distillery will also make the miniatures of its Two Drifters Signature available to purchase onboard in the Speedbird Caf\u00e9 for passengers to enjoy during flights from March.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gemma Wakeham, Two Drifters CMO, said, \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to be working with a major British airline. It\u2019s really exciting to have our premium, British-made rum onboard the planes of such an important airline, showing that great rum doesn\u2019t have to cost the Earth.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The Signature Rum is barrel-aged in French oak ex-Madeira casks, which provides the rum with flavours of orange peel and muscovado sugar.<\/p>\n

For the \u2018perfect serve\u2019 at 30,000 feet, Two Drifters recommends adding a few ice cubes to enhance the flavours, or serving it with a mixer.<\/p>\n

In order to ensure that it maintains its goal for remaining carbon negative, the Devon-based Two Drifters Distillery has placed a carbon tax on its products through a partnership with Climeworks, which specialises in carbon removal through carbon-capturing technologies.<\/p>\n

The entirety of the Two Drifters distillery is run on 100% renewable energy in an effort to minimise the effect on the environment.<\/p>\n

Carbon-neutral packaging and a complete avoidance of plastic means it has less of a \u2018tax\u2019 to pay on the carbon it creates.<\/p>\n

Two Drifters Signature Rum is available now to pre-purchase from the High Life Shop for \u00a333 (US$40) for a 700ml bottle.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
