After many years in the shadow of its hipster sibling, gin, rum is finally having its moment in the spotlight. The backbone to your pina colada or dark and stormy, rum is an essential part of your liquor cabinet – and our rum guide will save you money on your next bottle of goodness.

We’ve combed through every UK supermarket’s rum listings to bring you a definitive guide to the best value rums on sale today. You don’t need to be a pirate on the seven seas to enjoy these, BUT PRAISE YE GODS OF THE DEPTHS IT SURE DOES HELP ME HEARTIES.

Highlights:

  • Aldi’s Old Hopking and Lidl’s James Cook Dark (70cl) sell for £9.99 per bottle, at 36p per measure these are the best value bottles available from the supermarket!
  • Tesco boasts the best choice for good value rum, with 6 of the 20 best value bottles available there. ASDA features the 2nd most frequently and Sainsbury’s 3rd.
  • There are currently 269 bottles of rum to choose from in UK supermarkets!
  • Spiced rum is gaining in popularity, with 73 / 269 bottles being spiced!

The UK's Best Price Rum from Supermarkets

Good old Aldi rules the roost in terms of value as you might expect – its own-brand Old Hopking range costs just 36p per measure. But if you thought opting for own-brand meant trading up on quality — think again. The Old Hopking Range won big at the recent Spirit Business Masters Awards, beating many of its more expensive rivals in this industry taste test.
