Nose: Apple strudel with a dusting of cinnamon and nutmeg. Sandalwood fragrance and grilled peaches later on. The UK’s first B Corp certified rum, Hattiers has a fresh take on the traditional art of rum blending with an uncompromising approach to quality and sustainability. Sourcing fine aged rums from over 25 distilleries around the world, their versatile and accessible blends consist of carefully selected rums married together along with pure Dartmoor water.

At Hattiers, our workforce is over 60% female, as we create a more inclusive world by challenging gender stereotypes, biases, and discrimination. For us, today is also about highlighting and thanking those women who have supported the growth of Hattiers throughout our growth. Thank you! March means #BCorpMonth – and this year we’ll be showing you what it means to go beyond business as usual. No added colorants. Non-chill filtered. Ex-bourbon Cask. Matured at source Distillery. Blended and bottled in Devon. Superb Rum. I’m normally into whisky but this has changed my approach to sipping. An exciting start as the bold, woody flavours present and delicious vanilla and soft notes emerge to finish. A pleasantly smooth texture lingers and leaves you wanting more. Complexity for an experienced supper and very inviting for a newcomer to Rum. Well done Hattiers! Makes a phenomenal Mojito too. Since our beginning in2017, Hattiers Rumhas existed as benchmark of where webelieve rum should be. Our purpose has always been bigger than making and selling fine blended rums.

Hattiers Premium Reserve Rum blends oak aged rums from across the Caribbean and Central America with pure, soft water fro Dartmoor, England. It is delicately balanced by their master blender to be jovial and warm. The trio at The Glassmates have a very special place in the heart of all at Hattiers. Our founder Philip met the chaps during the spring/summer of 2020, during their weekly broadcasts. Their breadth of knowledge and approachable pallets across multiplespirits isrefreshing.

Hattiers was a pending B Corporation for 2 years while the business laid down its foundations and the company officially achieved B Corp Status in November 2020. Take a bar spoon with a flat bottom and use the disc to churn the mixture. You’re looking for a frosting on the outside of the glass so that you know the mix is super cold. March - International Women's Day, a day to honour and celebrate the achievements of women and highlight the issues they face globally. Since our conception in 2017, Hattiers Rum has existed as a benchmark of where we believe great rum should be, all while being uncompromising in our mission to use business as a force for good – being plastic-free from day one, becoming the first UK B Corp certified rum, a member of 1% For the Planet and Ecologi, and planting our own woodland as part of our steps towards Net Zero…but we’re not stopping there. Consumer attitudes are changing, it is no longer enough for businesses to operate with a “business as usual” attitude and legislation cannot be relied upon alone to enforce policies on companies to operate more sustainably with people and the planet in mind. The B Corp mantra has been deeply instilled within our company from the very beginning and it encourages us to continually examine our practices, work proactively and make conscious decisions. We hope that by leading by example, we can be the catalyst for other companies within the spirits industry to make the commitment to join us within the globally respected B Corp family, become more transparent about their practices and show clear evidence of their claims. What would you like to change in the future to improve your sustainability credentials further?We are past the time when any business can simply ask its employees to leave their values and humanity at home, and no business can any longer afford year after year to pursue minor incremental efficiencies while foregoing opportunities to help the environment rather than deplete it. Slice into the ring from one side and cut away the pulp from the peel until you have one long piece of lemon peel

A huge thank you to - Joanna Simon for featuring Hattiers, and for highlighting the rise of premium rum, with an ethical and sustainable drive. At Hattiers we source and blend the world’s finest rums to produce a final product that is accessible to all. We are proud to be an honest and bold challenger brand, removing the historic smoke and mirrors of the rum world and championing real unadulterated rum while operating sustainably, placing purpose before profit as the UK’s first B Corp Rum brand, and only the 2nd in the world. As a certified B Corp (and the first rum in the UK to be certified) we go beyond business as usual to make our mark on the world in a positive way. Thinking beyond profit. Going beyond what is expected. Putting people and planet first, and coming together with other wonderful B Corps to prove beyond doubt that there is a better way to do business. To receive certification, we had to provide evidence of socially and environmentally responsible practices – including energy supplies, waste and water use, worker compensation, diversity and corporate transparency. Finally, to complete the certification, we have legally embedded our commitment to purpose beyond profit into our company articles.Founder of the Great British Entrepreneur Awards, Francesca James, said the quality of this year’s entrants exemplified the strength of entrepreneurship across the UK: “The quality of applications is consistently excellent year on year, but we have been especially blown away by the innovation, drive and determination demonstrated this year.
