Isle of Barra Distillers has unveiled its most atmospheric release yet, Island Dark Rum: Black Forest. The new expression takes the distillery’s award-winning Island Dark Rum to new depths, offering a more layered experience, inspired by a wilder place.
Drawing inspiration from the darker, more mystical side of Barra, Black Forest captures the depth and richness of dark forest flavours. The rum has been built around the bold intensity of wild cherry and blackcurrant, lifted with bright orange peel and mellowed by smooth coconut. The new rum balances the rich flavours of the dark fruits with the familiar, tropical warmth of Island Dark Rum.

Michael Morrison, CEO and co-founder, said:
“We’re really proud of this latest release. Black Forest is a rum designed not just to be tasted, but to be discovered. Inspired by the wild and wonderful island we call home, this rum is exciting, rich and absolutely delicious.”
Founded in 2017 by Katie and Michael Morrison, the husband and wife Barra natives wanted to create a future for their family and generations to come and, in doing so, founded Scotland’s most westerly distillery.
