I’m a rugby legend with five Six Nations titles – now I’m making my own way in new career selling luxury rum

WALES legend Alun Wyn Jones has switched the scrum for bottles of rum since hanging up his boots.

The former Dragons captain is widely-regarded as one of the best locks of his generation, playing a record 158 times for his country.

Jones won the Six Nations five times during his glittering career – three of which were Grand Slam victories.

The Ospreys hero retired just two months ago to launch his new business selling rum.

Mimosa Rwm Espiritu takes a pinch of Caribbean rum and coffee to create a smooth liqueur.

Brewed in Wales, a bottle will cost drinkers between £30 to £40.

The branding contains the date 1865 with cities Liverpool and Patagonia taking centre stage.

Its story comes from the ship named Mimosa that carried Welsh settlers from Liverpool to Patagonia in Argentina 158 years ago.

The spirit aims to “celebrate the pioneering spirit of the people who embarked on this new life and adventure.”

Patagonia also has a special place in Jones‘ heart as it is where he won his first ever Wales cap in 2006.

Mimosa can be enjoyed in espresso martinis, an old fashioned, a hot toddy or on the rocks.

Drinkers can even liven up an iced coffee with a shot of the 29 per cent alcoholic beverage.

The ex-rugby star has been busy promoting his new business on Instagram.

And fans are excited to taste the rum, one said: “Can’t wait to try.”
