In response to the ongoing COVID-19 situation, London's first ever Rum Distillery, Taxi Spirit Co. has launched a new line of Hand Santiser using the approved W.H.O version formula 1, in an effort to aid public demand and protection against the highly contagious virus.  

Cabby's Hand Rub which is available in a generous, family-sized 500ml (16.9 fluid ounce) bottles for £12.50 each, can now be purchased from the Taxi Spirit Co.'s dedicated online shop. The company has also committed a percentage from the sales of the santiser to a number of NHS charities, and will be donating free batches to local hospitals, charities, businesses and other key workers in need of urgent supplies. 

Launched in 2018 by black taxi driver Moses Odong, Taxi Spirit Co. is known for producing its signature, awardwinning and currently London's only premium white rum, CABBY'S RUM. But now, in part due to the UK's relaxation on the restrictions of the production of santiser, the company located in capital's Mile End, has seen its small batch distillery down tools on its usual production of rum and gin, to repurpose its warehouse and diversify its business offering during this challenging period of the pandemic.  

Moses Odong, Founder and Director of Taxi Spirit Co. says “We're seeing that in the wake of the Covid-19 crisis, it is having far-reaching consequences beyond just the spread of the disease and the efforts to quarantine it. As the pandemic has continued to spread around the country and worldwide, concerns have shifted from supply-side manufacturing issues to decreased businesses in the services sector. We want to help the healthcare service and the public as there is a shortage of PPE including Hand Sanitisation”. 

Although only established two years ago, Taxi Spirit Co. has been awarded Outstanding Gold and

Silver and Bronze awards at the Oscars of spirit industry - International Wine and Spirits Competition, San Francisco World Spirits Competition, The Spirit Business and The Great Taste Award for their popular range of Rum and Gin.
