Product Information

The only downside to these ingredients in our opinion is that we don’t get a full overview of what the natural flavourings are and for the brand to be ‘Clean’, we would like to see more openness on what these ingredients look like. Pros

And with the non-alcoholic market growing at around 9% a year, alternatives are fast becoming a great investment for drinks companies to hone in on. It’s no lie that we drink with our eyes and nose, so it’s important that the colour matches the rums look and that when you add the cola it doesn’t just smell like a coke.CleanCo distills 50% more of Clean R’s key ingredients to produce a powerful rum taste without alcohol. However, the details of the distillation process remain undisclosed. Like all other CleanCo non-alcoholic spirits, Clean R is vegan, lactose-free, and gluten-free. Additionally, it won the Bronze award at the 2021 International Wines and Spirits Competition (IWSC). Its a great alternative that really is hard to beat. Whether you’re by yourself a just fancy a clean head the next morning or if you have the family round for a BBQ and even think it will be funny to see if they can tell the difference, Clean Co have pulled out all the stops to make this a great tasting rum alternative.

With its trademark flavor of sweet, toasted sugar from sugar cane juice or molasses and spices such as caramel and vanilla, rum is not an easy spirit to recreate as a non-alcoholic spirit. So read on to find out what I think about this rum alternative in my Clean R Rum review and where you can buy it. Unlike non-alcoholic beers, natural flavorings in non-alcoholic spirits refer to the botanicals. However, CleanCo doesn’t disclose the botanicals they have used to create Clean R Rum. It’s worth noting that there are no added sugars or sweeteners such as Stevia. That is a positive aspect because some companies may use sugar to compensate for the absence of alcohol. We believe its down to this small percentage of rum and added spice that gives this rum a close to perfect authentic taste. You can tell that Spencer is passionate about the tasting notes that come out of his Clean Co portfolio and being teetotal himself brings the most out of his willingness to find the close to perfect alternatives. We also recommend trying a non-alcoholic daiquiri to mix things up for designated driver party guests. This adds a bit of fun and keeps things creative for people who are choosing to not have alcohol. For the flavor notes, I could taste the aged wood notes and some notes of vanilla. I expected more spice notes since it is a spiced rum alternative, but instead, this non-alcoholic rum reminds me of a gold rum with its smooth mouthfeel, notes of vanilla, some sweetness, and a medium body.Unlike the aroma, the taste of Clean R Rum isn’t overly sweet. I did think it was going to be sweeter based on the sweet fragrance, but I’m glad the sweetness on the palate is mellow. Clean R Rum is a non-alcoholic rum alternative created by CleanCo, a UK-based company specializing in non-alcoholic spirits. It is a spiced Caribbean rum with a big Jamaican rum flavor, enriched with warming spices, golden caramel, and cayenne pepper. The company’s founder, Spencer Matthews of “Made in Chelsea” fame, has contributed to the brand’s success since its launch in 2019. The health benefits keep coming with these drinks as well, having been featured in both Mens and Women’s Health magazine as a great alternative to staying off the booze if you are looking to get healthy, we feel that Clean Co as a brand are focusing a lot more on health and positive drinking, rather than just avoiding all the sweet stuff in the first place.
