Rum & Whisky that Supports Wildlife Conservation in Africa, donating 10% of its profits to Tusk Charity

Uhuru (http://www.uhuruspirits.co.uk) is a spirit brand making rum and whisky to be enjoyed anywhere, anytime, which has wildlife conservation in Africa at the heart of its mission.

Uhuru is a passion project with a purpose, with 10% of its net profits donated to charity Tusk, which supports African wildlife conservation in Africa. Uhuru is created and bottled by the team at Youngs Spirits, an Edinburgh based bottling and spirits company with years of expertise in the drinks industry.

Uhuru started with a trip to Africa and a young ambitious bottler. John, wildlife enthusiast and the Co-Founder of Young Spirits, fell in love with African wildlife during his first of many summer holidays in the Kenyan sun. That’s where his childhood adventures searching for his favourite animals turned into a passion for conservation and eventually a passion project named Uhuru.

All of Uhuru’s spirits are perfect for sipping straight or mixing in a delicious cocktail. The Uhuru range includes Rum and Whisky, which are great for safari inspired cocktails designed to complement the drinkers’ sense of adventure. Every Uhuru spirit also comes in a beautiful and distinctive bottle, designed by artist, tattooer and fellow wildlife conservationist Paul Petroianu.

This is an XO Golden Rum from the Caribbean. After soaking up the tropical heat, the cask was transported to the Youngs Spirits bottling house to end the maturation process at 44%. This bottle of Uhuru Rum is filled with flavours of buttery toffee and fruity sweetness, balanced with unfolding oaky notes.

Batch 2 of Uhuru Whisky is the sister to our inaugural release. This Blended Malt Scotch Whisky has spent 12 years maturing in a Virgin Oak barrel. With an additional 2 years of maturation, Batch 2 beautifully balances delicate peaty notes, while enhancing the gentle and delightful lowland character.

Indulge in the velvety smoothness of this whisky, where macerated fruits and apricot slices intertwine with hints of oak spiciness, vanilla extract, and a touch of burnt toffee and peat smoke. Pair it with cream soda and a zesty wedge of pink grapefruit for a truly sublime experience.

Limited to just 250 bottles, this single cask release is not only a testament to craftsmanship but also to our commitment. With 10% of Uhuru’s net sales donated to TUSK, every sip supports African wildlife conservation.
