We've only gone and launched our very own Spiced Rum: 59 Horses


The Story So Far...


Since we took over our banging little pub in 2023, we have always wanted to have our very own spiced rum distilled. We have a great relationship with Jordan, the owner of Abingdon Distillery. They are a super cool independent distillery who have made a real name for themselves in recent years. With such a great distillery virtually on our doorstep, who we already buy spirits from, why wouldn’t we try to make this happen?

We spent months brainstorming ideas and flavours, but in addition we wanted to collaborate with another local business to bring this idea to life. Who else could we convince to come and work on this crazy idea with us??? And, as if by magic along came Mr Stewart Barefield...

Stewart is an extremely talented local tattoo artist and owner of ‘Studio 59’. He bought into the concept immediately and so began the process of developing our very own spiced rum with the team at Abingdon Distillery.

After a few months of playing around with different recipes and ideas, we all unanimously agreed upon the final recipe, Chocolate Orange!! It is a very distinct and one of a kind rum with notes of orange and chocolate, as well as numerous botanics and it really packs a punch!

Thankfully, having a super skilled tattoo artist as a co-collaborator helped massively when it came to the design. The name was chosen as a clear reference to both businesses and there we had it, our first ever spiced rum... ‘59 Horses’!!!

Since it’s launch in October, we can’t sell the stuff quick enough, both as our house rum and by the bottle to customers. In early 2025, a very cool bar in Ipswich called the Arcade Tavern placed an order to promote it as their ‘Rum Of The Month’.

We are very excited for the future of ’59 Horses’ and we hope that you all enjoy it as much as we do, however you take it, neat or with a cheeky little mixer!

Much Love, Team 59 Horsesxx.
