From the Vaults of Devon: The Next Chapter of Craft Rum

Welcome to the Vault 53 blog—your new insider’s guide to the world of artisanal rum. We aren't just making spirits; we’re honouring a legacy. One of our founders, Veronica Grant, is the Great Great Granddaughter of William Grant himself. That passion for craftsmanship didn't just stay in the family; it moved into an old Victorian bank on Mutley Plain, where our spirits now age in the cool, controlled climate of original underground vaults.

In 2026, the world of rum is changing. It’s no longer just a "mixer"—it’s a premium experience. Whether you’ve seen our Prickly Pear & Pink Grapefruit Rum featured on ITV’s Love Your Weekend or you’re a regular at our distillery venue, you know we’re all about pushing boundaries.

What to expect from this blog:

Behind the Scenes: Go inside our 1,000-litre copper pot and see how we create everything from our flavoured Rums to our upcoming aged golden expressions.

The Mixology Lab: With "maximalism" and "daycaps" (afternoon cocktails) trending this year, we’ll be sharing recipes that turn your home bar into a destination.

News: We'll keep you informed with all the latest news from the world of Rum.
