Diplomático Reserva Exclusiva is an aged Venezuelan rum at 40%, with notes of toffee, orange peel, oak and vanilla. It's made for sipping, so it suits someone who drinks rum neat or over ice.
Planteray infuses pineapple peel and flesh in two of its rums, then blends them, so the pineapple comes from real fruit rather than flavouring. It works in daiquiris and tiki drinks and over ice.
Behind each of the 25 doors is a 30ml dram of a different rum, from producers such as Diplomático, Ron Zacapa and Havana Club. It's a good way to try rums they wouldn't buy a full bottle of.
Written by the owners of the San Francisco tiki bar Smuggler's Cove, the book covers the history of rum and tiki alongside the recipes. It's the one to buy someone who loves rum cocktails.
Two hand-painted 300ml ceramic tiki mugs in a gift box, for mai tais, piña coladas and rum punches. They're a cheap, fun way to bring a bit of tiki bar home.
Three 5cl bottles of Salford's Original Spiced, Dark Spiced and Honey rums, from a small distillery in Salford. It's an easy small gift for someone who likes spiced rum.
Rum covers everything from light Cuban styles to dark aged and spiced rums, so check what they drink before choosing a bottle. The best gifts for rum lovers are a good sipping rum, a chance to try new ones, or kit for the tiki cocktails rum is known for. An advent calendar of miniatures is a safe choice if you're unsure.
