THE MIMOSA
In 1865, a ship named Mimosa set sail from Liverpool, carrying the dreams of brave Welsh settlers bound for the remote and rugged lands of Patagonia, Argentina. These pioneers, driven by a desire to preserve their culture and language, embarked on a journey that would forever link Wales with the distant shores of Argentina. Mimosa, the ship that bore them across the Atlantic, became a symbol of courage, resilience, and the indomitable Welsh spirit.
Fast forward to the present day, and that same spirit of adventure and heritage lives on through Mimosa Rwm Espiritu, a premium coffee rum liqueur crafted to honour those who dared to explore the unknown.
Founded by Alun Wyn Jones, a modern-day Welsh icon, Mimosa Rwm Espiritu is more than just a drink—it's a tribute to history, a celebration of heritage, and a testament to the connections that bind us across time. Just as the Mimosa ship carried its passengers to a new life, Mimosa Rwm Espiritu carries the rich flavours of the Caribbean and the warmth of Welsh tradition into every glass. The significant number 158, reflects the years between the voyage (1865) and the launch of Mimosa Rwm (2023) it also is coincidentally the number of test caps Alun Wyn Jones ended his international career on. This resonates with the attention to detail and the precise blending of flavours in every batch of this exceptional rum liqueur.
Alun Wyn Jones, who won his first Welsh cap in Argentina—a land where the Welsh settlers built new lives—was inspired by this profound historical connection. With 158 caps for Wales, Alun Wyn's career has been one of unparalleled achievement, much like the Mimosa's journey that paved the way for a thriving Welsh-Argentine community. The spirit of exploration, cultural preservation and pride that marked the voyage of the Mimosa ship, which is now expressed in every bottle of Mimosa Rwm Espiritu.
Each sip is a reminder of the legacy of those who came before us, and the enduring bond between Wales and Patagonia. Whether enjoyed over ice, in a cocktail, or savoured neat, Mimosa Rwm Espiritu is a celebration of the past, present, and future with a conscious Welsh identity. Mimosa Rwm is a drink that invites you to celebrate your own journey of discovery.
