Two Drifters

The line "Two drifters off to see the world" from the song in the film "Breakfast at Tiffany's" gave its name to the Two Drifters Distillery in Devon, England. Russ and Emma Wakeham met and fell in love at a rum tasting, and at Emma's request, this very song accompanied their wedding ceremony. Together, they traveled to numerous countries to deepen their knowledge of rum before deciding to return to their native England and establish a modern, innovative distillery focused on environmental awareness and sustainability. Thus, the Two Drifters Distillery was born: a fully electric distillery powered exclusively by renewable energy. Sustainable solutions are also used in the equipment and packaging: the lightweight glass bottle is manufactured in Great Britain, the label is made primarily from recycled sugarcane fiber material with a touch of hemp, the cap is made of natural cork, the seal is fully compostable, and the packaging is particularly resource-efficient. This lightly spiced rum is distilled exclusively in a pot still and presents itself as soft and warming on the nose and palate with harmonious aromatic notes of vanilla, chai tea, toffee apple and a delicate hint of clove.

The Two Drifters Distillery is located in a hangar near Exeter Airport in Devon, England. Originally planned as a combination brewery and distillery, the operation was fully converted to rum production following overwhelming demand for Two Drifters Rum, with all brewery equipment being rebuilt accordingly. Two Drifters Distillery combines rum making with scientific precision, a spirit of innovation, and great passion. Every step of the production process is carefully controlled and monitored to ensure consistently high quality. In collaboration with select partners, great emphasis is placed on resource-efficient processes and high-quality raw materials. This Two Drifters Overproof Spiced Pineapple Rum is gently distilled in a pot still and refined with the finest extract of ripe pineapple. The result is a powerful, fruit-forward rum with intense aromas of juicy pineapple, salted caramel, and crème brûlée that delights both the nose and the palate.

The Two Drifters Distillery was founded by Russ and Gemma Wakeham, a married couple from Devon. The name Two Drifters comes from Gemma, who walked down the aisle to the song "Moon River" on her wedding day – with the line "Two drifters off to see the world," which became a symbol of their shared journey. Two Drifters combines rum, science, innovation, and passion, placing the highest value on sustainability and environmental awareness. The distillery operates entirely electrically and is powered exclusively by renewable energy. This concept is complemented by the use of electric vehicles, eco-friendly packaging, sustainable courier services, and a resource-efficient website. The new, minimalist bottle design also significantly reduces material usage and contributes to lowering the environmental impact. The Pure White Rum is made from pure molasses and is a blend of pot and column still distillates. Crystal clear and clean, it presents itself on the nose and palate with fresh notes of vanilla, apple, white pepper, and a hint of lime zest. Ideally suited for a Grapefruit Daiquiri or as a White Rum & Tonic.

An idea conceived during a stay in Vancouver, Canada, was brought to life in 2019. At the heart of Two Drifters lies a constant desire for improvement and development, with the ambition to combine rum production with responsibility. The distillery operates entirely electrically and is powered by 100% renewable energy. This concept is complemented by the use of electric vehicles, resource-efficient packaging, sustainable courier services, and an environmentally conscious digital infrastructure. These measures significantly reduce the distillery's ecological footprint compared to many others. This Two Drifters Signature Rum is distilled in a pot still and gets its warm amber color from the addition of burnt sugar. On the nose and palate, it is full-bodied and smooth with intense aromas of syrup, toffee, ginger, and muscovado sugar. Ideally suited for classic cocktails such as the Old Cuban or El Presidente, as well as for enjoying on the rocks.
