Undone No. 1 'This is Not Rum' Jamaica Cane (Non Alcoholic)

Introduction

Undone No. 1 'This is Not Rum' Jamaica Cane is a non alcoholic dark rum alternative produced in Hamburg, Germany. Launched in 2019, the brand was founded by André and Mehmet with the goal of providing high quality alternatives for the global bar community. Unlike many non alcoholic spirits that are simple botanical blends, Undone begins with authentic fermented and aged Jamaican pot still rum before gently extracting the alcohol.

Spirit Description

This non alcoholic spirit presents a rich dark mahogany or amber appearance, achieved through the use of caramel coloring to mimic aged dark rum. The aroma is intense, featuring the signature "funk" and ester notes of Jamaican distillates alongside tropical fruits and liquorice. On the palate, it delivers a complex profile of mango, papaya, and caramel, balanced by the light sweetness of sugar cane and a hint of vanilla. The body is smooth and full, leading to a finish with a subtle peppery spiciness and toasted oak notes. It contains 0.3% alcohol by volume.

Food Pairing

The bold, tropical, and spicy character of this rum alternative makes it a natural partner for vibrant Caribbean and Asian cuisines. It pairs exceptionally well with jerk chicken, coconut based curries, and grilled pineapple, as its sweetness balances the heat of the spices. For casual social events like summer BBQs, it complements smoky grilled meats and spicy appetizers. It also serves as a sophisticated accompaniment to desserts featuring tropical fruits or rich chocolate.

Distinctive Features

Undone No. 1 is distinguished by its patented dealcoholization process, which preserves the complex esters and barrel aging characteristics of the original spirit. It is a health conscious choice, containing only 3.3 calories per 30ml and 0.7g of carbohydrates, making it both low calorie and keto friendly. The product is certified vegan and gluten free, and it is crafted using natural ingredients including maple syrup and fig extract to enhance its depth of flavour.

Serving Suggestions

While it can be sipped neat, this spirit is designed primarily for use in classic rum cocktails at a 1:1 ratio. For a signature serve, create a 'Jamaican Mule' by mixing 5cl of Undone No. 1 with spicy ginger beer and fresh lime juice. It is also highly effective in a 'Cuba Libre' with cola and lime, or in tropical tiki drinks like a 'Jungle Bird' or 'Mai Tai'. To maintain freshness, it is recommended to consume the product within two months of opening and store it in a cool place.
