Devon Stormy
Devon Stormy
Ships Wednesday 1st January (Next Day Tracked)
Our ready made rum cocktail Devon Stormy is a twist on the classic sailor's cocktail that's as bold as it is smooth. Anchored by the rich, deep notes of our local Two Drifters Signature Rum, matured in ex-Madeira casks of french oak. We've stirred in a dash of agave for that sweet, earthy undertone, a splash of ginger for a spicy kick, and a drop of orange bitters for a citrusy zing, creating a cocktail that's as complex as the Devon coastline itself.
ABV: 16% | 100ml = 1.5 units | Gluten-free & Vegan

Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes
"The Bar Buoy Devon Stormy is not just a drink; it's an expedition into the heart of Devon's rugged charm. With its rich flavours and smooth finish, it's an ideal companion for those moments of reflection or celebration. No carbonation, just pure, undiluted enjoyment - a true fireside sipper that brings the spirit of Devon to your glass." "The first sniff is a whirlwind of ginger spice and citrus zest, inviting you to dive deeper into the storm. The smooth, sweet embrace of agave and rum greets you, setting the stage for a flavourful voyage. A swell of ginger builds a spicy crescendo, perfectly balanced by the underlying warmth of rum. Orange bitters provide a beacon of brightness, guiding you to a smooth, satisfying finish like the calm after a storm, with a warmth that stays with you, inviting contemplation or conversation."

General Pairing Tips
When pairing the Devon Stormy with food, consider dishes that will either enhance or balance its primary characteristics:
- Spice: Foods with a bit of heat, like spicy Asian or Caribbean dishes, can complement the ginger and orange bitters in the cocktail.

Appetisers and Light Bites

- Spicy Nuts and Olives: A simple yet flavourful snack, like spicy roasted nuts or marinated olives, complements the Devon Stormy's warmth and complexity.
- Charcuterie Board: Offer a selection of cured meats, which the cocktail's robust flavours can stand up to, especially those with a bit of spice or smokiness.
Main Courses
- Barbecued Ribs or Pulled Pork: The sweet and spicy profile of the cocktail pairs wonderfully with the richness of barbecued meats.
- Jerk Chicken: The heat from the jerk seasoning alongside the cooling, spicy cocktail creates a harmonious balance on the palate.
Desserts
- Ginger Spice Cake: Echo the ginger in the cocktail with a moist, spicy ginger cake, possibly served with a dollop of cream to smooth out the flavours.
- Dark Chocolate Orange Tart: The bittersweetness of dark chocolate combined with orange complements the citrusy notes of the cocktail.

Bar Bouy cocktails are the best ready mades we have tried. Especially the Seabird, Expresso Martini and the Negroni - couldn’t make them myself to taste that good! I love the fact they use the best ingredients and source spirits from the South West. The packaging and delivery box are even beautiful!
Combined with getting a delivery organised to arrive in Guernsey on an exact day for a birthday celebration (harder than you think!) I couldn’t fault how helpful Bar Buoy were.
Highly recommended - the only downside is that they don’t hang around long once you start drinking them!!
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We're so pleased you enjoyed the cocktails and the birthday celebrations.
