Yesterday, One Eyed Spirits rebranded its Ron de Jeremy rum to Hell Or High Water, after charges were filed against the adult film actor that the brand is named after.

Aged rum in the UK will have undergone something of a reset last year, with volumes forecast to have fallen back following four years of consecutive growth. According to GlobalData, the segment’s volumes rose by a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 4.5% between 2015 and 2019 in the market.

Last year, however, volumes are expected to have shrunk 9% compared with 2019, to just under 1.3m nine-litre cases. However, aged rum is set to resume growth in the years to 2024, albeit at a diminished CAGR of 3.4%.
