☀️ Solar Reserve in GQ: A Taste of Sunshine in November’s Flavour File
There’s something surreal about opening GQ and seeing your own bottle glinting back at you. This November, Solar Reserve was featured in GQ’s Flavour File — their annual round-up of standout tastes, scents, and seasonal craft.
For a small London-based rum brand blending the warmth of the Dominican Republic amd Jamaica with the energy of the city, it’s a proud moment — proof that sunshine really can shine through the grey.
🌴 A Little About our Rums
Our SR55 brings together aged rums from the Dominican Republic and Jamaica — full of toasted oak, toffee, and gentle tropical heat.
Our SR8, single origin from the Dominican Republic, leans smoother — think soft fruit, caramel and delicate baking spice.
Both are aged under the tropical sun and bottled in the UK with sustainability front and centre — lighter-weight bottles, recycled packaging, and nothing added.
🍹 Where to Find It
You can pick up both bottles on Amazon (free delivery with Prime) or visit one of our London partner bars like Rhum Tavern, Ollie Vee’s, or Merchant House to try them in a cocktail first.
If you’re heading to the Spirit of Christmas Fair this November, come find us there too — we’ll be pouring tastings all week and showing what GQ’s Flavour of the Month is really about.
✨ The Takeaway
Being featured in GQ isn’t the destination — it’s another spark pushing us forward.
We’re still a small team doing everything ourselves — from blending and bottling to lugging boxes to events — but it’s moments like these that remind us why we started.
Here’s to the sunshine, the supporters, and the sippers who make it all worthwhile.

That’s exactly what we’ve always aimed for: rum that feels like golden hour in a glass.
