Valentine’s Day is creeping up… and if you’re fancying something a little different this year, why not spend it touring our rum distillery?
We all love chocolates and flowers, but this year experience something truly memorable and visit Europe’s largest rum distillery, tucked away on the Welbeck Estate, Nottinghamshire (right on the edge of Sherwood forest).
Make a proper day of it: a romantic wander around Creswell Crags, lunch at the Harley Café, then join us for Nottinghamshire’s Experience of the Year 2025!


On our distillery tour, we’ll walk you through how we make our uniquely full-flavoured rum from scratch here in the UK with no artificial flavourings and absolutely no shortcuts. You’ll warm up with a rum punch cocktail, see behind the scenes and enjoy tastings of our Drops along the way.
Already visited us and want to come back for more? Say hello to the Cask Tasting Experience, our deeper dive into rum maturation in the UK. You’ll try four unique matured Drops while learning the art of nosing, tasting and appreciating everything that happens inside the barrel.
Staying in this Valentine’s Day but still want to impress? Gift a tour voucher for later, or shake up something special at home with our DropWorks Rhubarb Daiquiri:
You’ll need:
- 50ml Clear Drop
- Juice of a whole lime
- 10ml rhubarb syrup
- 5ml sugar syrup
Shake with ice, strain, and garnish with a rhubarb ribbon. Voilà.
Whether you’re heading out or staying in, celebrate your Valentine’s Day with British full-flavoured rum!
