The DropWorks Rum Distillery

WHERE THE
SCIENCE HAPPENS

 

Bringing a new genre of Rum to the world!

Every Drop is made at the DropWorks Distillery in Nottinghamshire.

Nestled in Nottinghamshire, in the heart of Britain, the finest molasses is fermented with our own cultivated trinity yeast strain, distilled on bespoke stills, then blended and matured it in our own barrels across our 3 unique ageing locations. You can rest assured knowing that our team of experts have had full control over the quality of our production, to bring you the most enjoyable Drops imaginable!

World-first products such as Spice Drop Rum – the first spiced Rum made without any added spices, and world-first ingredients are just some examples of the impressive talent and creative thinking that the team are using to innovate and produce this new genre of modern British Rum. This really is something special.

Sounds unbelievable right?! Well seeing (and tasting) is believing, and we are so pleased to now be able to invite you to come and experience the epicness for yourself on one of our Distillery Tour packages.

More than just a distillery, visiting DropWorks is a whole day out (or however long you want!). We blend fun, Rum and education together at our one of a kind distillery based at Welbeck. Why not Drop by early or stick around after, to visit the award winning farm shop, garden centre, cafe, art gallery, brewery, artisan school of food or the museum and make a full day of it!
