The Island Slice Story
Born in St. Lucia, Sylvester Herman's journey to becoming a rum producer is as rich and complex as his spirits. From his early days learning rum-making from his father in Lamáze to his travels through New York, Germany, and service in Iraq and Afghanistan, Sylvester brings a wealth of experience to every batch of IslandSlice Rum.
After serving in the British military and later with Police Scotland, Sylvester founded IslandSlice in 2016, following the passing of his father. During those difficult days, he documented everything his father had taught him about rum-making – knowledge passed down from generations of ancestors who first developed these techniques.
What began as a small operation selling rum punch cocktails quickly gained momentum. At his first market event at Lomond Shores, Sylvester arrived with 250 bottles expected to last the weekend – they sold out by 2pm on the first day. He rushed home to make more, returning with 500 bottles that also quickly sold out.
Initially blending and spicing shop-bought rums, Sylvester's entrepreneurial journey took a significant turn when an HMRC representative, impressed by his knowledge and passion, encouraged him to distil his own rum. With his first still crafted from the parts of an immersion heater, IslandSlice truly began to take shape.
"I'm proud Scottish and I'm proud St. Lucian," says Sylvester. "With my rum, I'm bringing the two together."
Our Dark Rum features the influence of specially selected Speyside whisky casks – the perfect embodiment of this cultural fusion.
