There’s two different Barti spirits to discover in this cute miniature gift set, making it an ideal choice for anyone who enjoys discovering new drinks. Whether you’re treating yourself or looking for a thoughtful birthday or Christmas gift, or something to add to a hamper, this little pack offers something a little different.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS
If you enjoy trying different spirits, the Barti Mini Duo Gift Set is a perfect and lovely little treat. It brings together two of Barti’s lovely spirits in miniature bottles, allowing you to discover both without committing to full-sized bottles. The concept of having two different flavours to try is great, especially as one is a spiced rum and the other is a creamy liqueur. With Christmas just around the corner, this could make a thoughtful present for an adult who enjoys rum or likes discovering something new.
THEIR DISTINCTIVE FLAVOURS AND WHAT’S INCLUDED
What makes this set exciting is that the two drinks offer quite different experiences. One has warming spices and citrus notes, while the other is a smooth, creamy liqueur with a gentle hint of spice. It’s also a lovely way to introduce someone to the Barti range, particularly if they haven’t tried either drink or anything else from the Barti range before.
The gift pack contains two 50ml bottles, with one of each of the following:
Barti Spiced Rum
I’m partial to the odd rum and, compared with others I’ve tried and drunk, this is a real game changer for me. The combination of cinnamon, clove, vanilla, orange, lemon and the subtlety of the laver seaweed is a real winner. It’s perfectly balanced, with just the right amount of flavour, warmth and citrus, making it stand out from other rums I’ve tried. I can see why it won Best Rum at the Great British Food Awards in 2024.
Barti Cream Liqueur
This is sheer decadence and luxury. It’s silky and indulgent with a beautiful creamy texture and gentle spice. I was very intrigued to learn that it’s entirely plant based. It’s also dairy-free and lactose-free, and it’s made with coconut, although you can’t taste it.
A TASTE OF WALES
My family heritage is Welsh, and the coast is one of my favourite places to visit. What I love about Barti is the inspiration it takes from Wales. It has strong links to Pembrokeshire, and seaweed is part of the story behind the rum. I think it works exceptionally well and is very different from other brands I’ve tried before.
CONVENIENCE AND SERVING
These cute miniature bottles make this set convenient for trying both drinks without having to purchase full-sized bottles. Each contains 5cl, making them ideal for a small serving when you fancy a tipple, or for trying the drinks before buying the larger bottles.
Barti Spiced can be enjoyed in a way that suits your taste. I prefer it on its own over ice.
Barti Cream Liqueur offers a different option for those who prefer something smooth, silky, indulgent and creamy.
PACKAGING AND PRESENTATION
This miniature gift set is lovely and very appealing, offering two different products to discover. This set brings together the two bottles in one convenient package, making it suitable for gifting. The designs of the box and bottles are lovely, the combination of both looks calming and relaxing and made me feel like I was at sea on a beautiful evening at sunset.
VALUE FOR MONEY
At the listed price of £13.50, working out at just £6.75 per bottle (excluding delivery), I felt they were worth the money. The taste of both products is exceptional.

1 x 5cl bottle of Barti Spiced Rum (35% ABV)
