In 1900, Steampunk’s founders brother, Montague Holmes-Dunston, was holidaying on the island of Hispaniola – modern day Haiti – when, whilst on a jungle expedition, he disappeared for 30 days. After extensive searching he was found in a back street bar in Port au Prince. Dazed and confused, he relayed a tale of becoming lost in the jungle and being taken in by a beautiful Voodoo priestess who introduced him to the strange rites and rituals of her religion. He spoke of a wonderful beverage he had imbibed which was a secret recipe of his hostess. Watching closely, he committed to memory the blending of the spices and dark rums to produce the delicious spirit. Realising he would never be allowed leave his hostess's home, he made good his escape and eventually found his way to the city. Upon returning to Britain, he, with the help of his famous gin-producing brother, recreated the original spiced rum, and it is this recipe brought to you today.

Living North have teamed up with Steampunk to offer one lucky reader a bottle of the finely-crafted and secret-blend Voodoo spiced rum.
