When you engage in a trade that runs in the family DNA, it is almost a given that your offering will be well received… and, with applause. For Moses Odong’s rum, the reaction is quite similar, but, with the addition of resounding cheers demanding for more! For six years Moses toiled away at the still; drawing inspiration from his and his partner Bianca’s Jamaican and Ugandan distilling heritage. Finally, in 2018, what he believed to be a perfect rum; Cabby’s White Rum was launched right in the heart of London through Moses’s very own distillery Taxi Spirit Co. It is worthy to mention that both the company, and the spirit is produces, are loving odes to Moses’s daytime profession.

As far as the drink goes, we can only say that Moses Odong has done his ancestors proud. The rum is rich, and full-bodied; throwing voluminous hints of sweet cane, delicious black treacle, woody oak, refreshing coconut, and citrus. Yes, you can expect to feel like you’re strolling the beaches in Jamaica itself! But, the offering is indeed exclusive, with every batch just numbering a total of 250 bottles. And, through a ‘very fortunate’ accident of experimenting with juniper for spiced rum, Cabby’s Gin; a premium gin crafted with eight scintillating botanicals was born and also added to the ranks of Taxi Spirit Co.’s small-batch offering. So, when you call on Moses Odong for the rum, you can also get home the gin. Now isn’t that just a wonderful proposition?
