The Apiarist Rum

Two Lichfield beekeepers have unveiled their latest honey-infused tipple.

Alex and Natalie Conti have [previously produced two editions of their unique gin](https://lichfieldlive.co.uk/lichfield-couple-launch-new-forager-edition-of-honey-infused-gin/), but have now added The Apiarist Rum to their range.

The couple said technology had allowed their new drink to be rapid aged to the equivalent of a three-year barrel-aged rum, and featured aromas including vanilla, almond and light oak in a blend containing their own honey.

Alex said:

> “After being left with a surplus of honey when we expanded our home apiary during the first lockdown in spring 2020, we embarked on the production of a small batch of honey-infused gin and The Apiarist Gin was born, delivering rich, sweet honey notes balanced with vibrant lemon and dry tea flavours.  
>  
> “Just months later, we were inspired by another one of our favourite hobbies to create a Forager Edition of the spirit, containing the same rich, sweet honey base, but finished with blackberries, elderberries, wild strawberry leaves and apple, giving the gin its natural pink hue.  
>  
> “Since launching these two lines just a number of months ago, we have received orders from all around the country.  
>  
> “To maintain customer interest and demand, we have now expanded both our operations and product range with the launch of one of our personal favourites – rum.”  
>  
> Alex Conti

The drinks are all available via[ the online store](http://www.theapiaristdrinks.com/?ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk), as well as being stocked at locations across the Midlands including The Trooper, The Spirit Works, Harborne Kitchen and Purnell’s.

Natalie added:

> “What started as a simple extension of our home apiary just over 12 months ago has naturally turned into a thriving business and we couldn’t be prouder of everything we’ve achieved so far.  
>  
> “We’re extremely excited to introduce our brand-new rum to market and cannot wait to see how it is received by our loyal customers.”
