Christmas Gift Guide 2026: Seven Welsh Rum Gifts Worth Giving
From stocking fillers under £15 to limited-edition aged rum, here's our pick of the best Barti Christmas gifts for 2026.
Christmas shopping. Some people have it wrapped up by October. Others are still wandering around the shops on Christmas Eve. Whether you're smugly organised or a Christmas Eve panic buyer, we've got a few ideas for you.
From our little corner of Pembrokeshire, we've put together seven of our favourite Barti gifts. There's Welsh spiced rum, cream liqueur, ready-to-drink cocktails and a few limited-edition treats.
Some are made for sharing. Some are made for giving. And some, quite frankly, are worth keeping for yourself.
Here we go...
1. Barti Country Cocktail Can Pack – For Christmas parties and gatherings
Are they convenient, delicious and beautiful? Why yes, they are actually!
Our Barti Country Cocktail Can Pack contains 12 ready-to-drink rum cocktails, with four cans of each of our three flavours:
- Sea Buckthorn Fizz
- Ginger & Lemon Iced Tea
- Barti & Apple
Each 250ml can is made with Barti Rum and dressed in artwork by three Welsh artists, each bringing their own little piece of the coast to life.
Perfect for Christmas parties when you want something tasty and a little unusual, without having to cart around a whole bottle and mixers.
Stack them in the fridge for the Christmas wrapping marathon while watching Strictly, or take a few along to a festive gathering.
Buy it for: Yourself. You deserve them.
2. Barti Can Triple Gift Pack – Secret Santa sorted for under £15
This one's got Secret Santa written all over it.
Our Barti Can Triple Gift Pack contains one of each of our three ready-to-drink rum cocktails, all wrapped up in a rather lovely carry-along gift pack.
Three flavours, three Welsh artists and three winters to get them right. We don't like rushing the good stuff.
At under £15, it's a Christmas gift that says "I actually thought about this" rather than "I panicked in the supermarket on my lunch break."
Buy it for: That colleague who deserves something better than another mug.
3. Barti Mini Duo – A little taste of Pembrokeshire
Can't decide between rum and cream? Have both.
Our Barti Mini Duo Gift Set brings together miniature bottles of our two classics: Barti Spiced Rum and Barti Cream Liqueur.
Barti Spiced is our signature Welsh rum, made with Caribbean rum, warming spices and a rather unusual ingredient from the Pembrokeshire coast: laver seaweed.
Barti Cream is our rich cream liqueur with a little sea-salt character. Remember to give it a good Christmas shake before pouring to keep things lovely and smooth.
Two little bottles, one neat gift box and a chance to discover both sides of Barti.
Buy it for: Uncle John. Or that sister-in-law you actually quite like.
4. Old Barti & The Sea – The special Christmas present
Feeling spenny? Now then, this one's a treat.
In 2025 we launched Old Barti & The Sea, our limited-edition, two-year-aged rum.
Made using Dominican rum aged in ex-bourbon barrels, with our signature coastal character and spices, it's a richer, deeper expression of Barti.
Just 5,976 bottles were made for the 2025 release, each finished with a wax seal. Today, only 2,424 remain from that original batch.
At £45, this is one for sipping slowly and appreciating.
Once they're gone, they're gone.
Buy it for: Someone special who loves rum. Or someone who's been very, very good this year.
5. Barti Bauble Gift Sets – The Christmas gift that won't hang around for long
Oh, here we go. Cute as ever. Our Barti Bauble Gift Sets pair a miniature Barti drink with a branded glass, all wrapped up in festive packaging. We've nicknamed them baubles. Will they hang on a Christmas tree? Nope wouldn't recommend. Do they give off a bauble vibe? Kind of, so we're going with it.
Retiring after Christmas 2026, these make lovely gifts for Barti fans.
Buy it for: Your bestie. Or someone who appreciates a slightly impractical Christmas decoration.
6. Barti Cream Liqueur – A little Christmas indulgence
Is it too obvious to say Barti Cream?
Probably. But Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without something creamy in the cupboard.
Barti Cream is our rich Welsh cream liqueur with a little sea-salt character.
Give the bottle a good shake before pouring to keep it lovely and smooth, then serve it chilled, pour it over ice or enjoy a glass after Christmas dinner when everyone has finally stopped arguing about the board game rules.
It's also rather good poured over ice cream and Christmas pudding and mince pies and, well you catch my drift..
Buy it for: The house. Share only if you feel like it.
7. Barti Rum & Cream Gift Sets with Glasses – The big guns
Our Barti Gift Sets with Glasses are made for the people you really want to spoil.
Choose between Barti Spiced Rum or Barti Cream Liqueur, each presented in a gift box alongside two branded Barti tumbler glasses. A proper bottle, two glasses and everything needed to raise a festive toast.
And between me, you and the big blue sea, these gift sets are being retired after Christmas 2026 so this is their last Christmas outing.
Buy it for: Mum, Dad, a sibling or anyone who's been dropping not-so-subtle hints about Barti.

A little bit of Pembrokeshire under the Christmas tree
Barti was born on the Pembrokeshire coast in West Wales, where the sea has always been part of our story.
Our signature spiced rum even contains laver seaweed, a traditional Welsh ingredient that brings something a little different to the bottle.
Whether it's a miniature tucked into a stocking, a few cocktail cans shared with friends or a special bottle opened around the Christmas table, we hope there's a little bit of the Pembrokeshire coast in every gift.
That's our Christmas shopping sorted. Well, almost.
