Pre‑Order – £30.99 for 700 ml (37.5% ABV)

A Nautical First – Apple, Lime & Seaweed Fusion

Meet Ranger – the bold second expression from John Paul Jones’ rum collection, named in honour of the ship Ranger, the first US vessel to raid enemy craft in the Irish Sea. Inspired by that fearless spirit, this white rum combines tradition with adventure.

It’s crafted from a Caribbean base, then botanically infused with real apples and limes, and steeped in handpicked Scottish seaweed from JJ P’s hometown shoreline  . The result is a crisp, bright rum with lively fruit notes seamlessly layered over a distinctive salty, coastal finish. Rosemary whispers linger in the background, giving it that extra herbaceous complexity that makes Ranger stand out  .

Smooth and refreshing at 37.5% ABV, Ranger is made to be enjoyed neat over ice or in a pioneering highball with tonic – think of it as “more energetic than your average G&T”  .

Why It’s a Keeper

• Cutting-edge botanicals: Apples, lime, rosemary, and locally‑sourced seaweed — no artificial flavouring  .
• Revolutionary inspiration: Named after the famed Revolutionary War ship, Ranger embodies daring and first-of-their-kind spirit.
• Bar-floor validated: “This is an exceptional rum,” says Milroy’s of Soho. “Bravo boys, it’s a belter,” adds The Spectator’s Jonathan Ray  .
• Cocktail flexibility: Perfect in a rum martini, coast-inspired highball, or on its own — versatile at its best.
