FLAVOUR PROFILE
Aged Sundowner Rum.
With family roots in Brindle, Charles Herbert Lightoller, was the most senior surviving officer of the Titanic disaster. Following his heroic efforts that night, he went on to become a decorated naval war hero. Our rum is named after Charles’ private boat, Sundowner, a revamped steamboat in which he enjoyed family trips around Europe. The boat made the history books during WW2, when Lightoller bravely sailed her across the channel to assist in the evacuation of Dunkirk. Under heavy enemy fire, Lightoller expertly navigated Sundowner home, saving the lives of 130 British soldiers, despite the boat having an official capacity of just 21.
