Cabal No.1513 secures Gleneagles listing

Posted: 27th October 2021

Harpalion Spirits’ Cabal brand has secured a listing for its very first expression, Cabal No.1513, at the prestigious Gleneagles Hotel, in the decadent American Bar.

Claire Kinloch, CEO at Harpalion Spirits said: “We’re absolutely thrilled that Gleneagles has listed Cabal No.1513. The American Bar is the perfect place to toast good spirits and good company, and we have no doubt the patrons will enjoy our stunning aged rum.”

Since officially launching in May 2021, Cabal has already secured a number of listings UK-wide including The Proofing Room London, Loading Bar Brighton, The Register Club Edinburgh, The Rum Shack Glasgow, The Rum Kitchen Brighton, Royal Mile Whiskies, as well as online retailers, Master of Malt and Whisky Online.

The news comes fresh off the back of a recent gold award for the new aged rum in the ‘super-premium rum’ category at the Spirits Business Global Spirits Masters 2021 and a silver at the DBSB Autumn Tasting.

Claire continued: “People are at the heart of Cabal’s ethos so we’re delighted that our consumer-led rum is already proving to be such a success. Our rums are distinctive and flexible because they are created and tested by both consumers and industry experts. They have wide appeal and have been designed to offer choice in the way they are enjoyed and consumed, and we’re delighted with the support so far.”

Cabal No.1513 is created using a combination of pot and column distillation techniques with rums from prominent distilleries in Guatemala, Guyana, Trinidad, Panama and the Caribbean, tropically aged at origin. The liquid is then finished in Pedro Ximénez casks in Speyside, creating a unique, complex, yet smooth taste profile.

Bottled at 43% ABV, Cabal No.1513 is non-chill filtered, and there is no added colouring, flavour or sugar, leaving a high-quality, natural rum. Find out more and buy online at www.cabalrum.com

Cabal No.1513 is distributed in the UK through bbb drinks and is also available for export.
