Experiencing a renaissance, driven by urban consumers' evolving tastes and India's burgeoning market, rum is reclaiming its place on the top shelf

The world of spirits is undergoing a revolution, and at the forefront of this transformation stands Nomad Oscuro Dark Rum. Nomad Rum represents a fusion of cultures and flavors that captivate the senses.

Founded by Jai Anand, the founder of  East Side Distillery who also houses DOJA, world’s first Indi-Japanese gin, and Portal, a pouring gin. Crafted by world-class alcohol maker and distiller, Victor De Benito, Nomad Oscuro Dark Rum is a testament to his passion for innovation and expertise in crafting exceptional spirits. With a background in engineering and a keen eye for quality control, Victor honed his skills at Thames Distillers in London, where he delved into the intricate science and artistry behind spirits.

Nomad Oscuro Dark Rum is a unique blend of aged rum, Japanese Hinoki, and finished in Jamaican barrels, resulting in a smooth and versatile spirit that transcends traditional boundaries. Its deep amber color, a result of maturation in wooden casks, sets the stage for a sensory journey unlike any other.

From the moment it touches the lips, Nomad Oscuro captivates with pronounced aromas of toffee, caramelized bananas, palo santo, vanilla, and Hinoki cypress wood. Warm flavors of marzipan, raisin cake, and cypress wood dance on the palate, laced with a delicate sweetness and a full body. This smoky, spicy, and smooth spirit is perfect for sipping on its own or as the star ingredient in a range of popular rum cocktails.
