Our Heritage
Industry and landscape, side by side.
Industry and trade have shaped the lower Clyde for centuries. Titan comes from that same place, where industry and landscape, hardship and beauty, sit side by side.
The Lower Clyde
Built by industry.
Industry and trade have shaped the lower Clyde for centuries. Shipbuilding started here in 1711, with the first square-rigged ship launched in 1764. By the 1980s, around 20 sites and 93 separate yards had built 10,000 vessels between them. Alongside the shipyards at its peak stood 14 sugar refineries, engine works, ropeworks, and mills.
Sugar and the Clyde
Where the Golden Syrup story began.
Sugar built industry in this place. It also carries a wider history, one shaped by trade, labour and a global system that included exploitation. We don't shy away from that. We hold both, with respect for the people whose work built this place.
Caribbean and Clyde
Together in the glass.
Titan Spiced Rum brings together Caribbean rum, Scottish raspberries, Golden Syrup and warming spices, softened with Caledonian water. It's a blend that reflects where the ingredients come from and where the rum is made: the Caribbean and the Clyde, together in the glass.
Titan Spirits
Industry and landscape.
Hardship and beauty.
Side by side.
Titan sits in that same contrast: industry and landscape, hardship and beauty, side by side. That tension is the truth of this place, and it's the truth of Titan too.
