A new Bristol-based spiced rum business is launching, delivering bottles of orange and vanilla flavoured rum across the city. Miki Rum, based in Southmead, now has a licence to sell alcohol off the premises, after a hearing in City Hall.
Bristol City Council’s licensing sub-committee granted the licence on the condition no booze is sold to people on the site. Mike Newton said he started up his company after his hobby for blending rum turned into a passion, and now a small business. He added he has ambitions to grow the business and get his rum into bars and restaurants across Bristol.
He said: “I’ve always been interested in rum, it’s always been my drink of choice, so I thought I would give it a go making it myself. I made so many different flavours, then found one that I liked and gave it to my friends and family and they really enjoyed it.
