Mates

Mates began his journey here in the Netherlands in 2019 when Bart and two of his Mates Mates Spirits officially registered and blended their first 3,000 bottles of Mates Gold Rum.

Made with a unique blend of 3-5 years of aged Rum from the Caribbean, Mates rum is “Made by Mates, for Mates”.

Without adding extra sugar or other additives, Mates use three different rums in their blend. From Barbados, they take an English-style rum, which adds softness to the overall drink. Dominican rum, which is of a more Spanish style, adds greater sweetness. Finally, some Jamaican rum has been added, which adds a slight fruitiness.

The overall result has a natural sweetness (it's rum!) , and is fruity and soft. The ideal drink for when you're with your buddies!

Mates signature serve is a Light 'n Sunny. In a large glass filled with ice, add 50 ml of Mates Gold Rum and top up with 150-200 ml of Fentimans Ginger Ale and garnish with a slice of lemon.

Mates White Rum is a unique blend of different types of rums from Barbados, the Dominican Republic and Jamaica that have been blended with a 3-year-old rum from Trinidad. Each of these young rums brings its own style and flavor that together result in a white rum that is perfect to mix.

If you love a cocktail, Mates White Rum will work perfectly. For a classic Mojito, mix a few mint leaves in a large glass with 20 ml of freshly squeezed lime juice, 15 ml of sugar water and 50 ml of Mates White Rum. Fill with crushed ice, top up with soda water, stir and add a lime wedge as a garnish.
