- Enjoy a tasting of 4 unique rums*: American Oak at Cask Strength, Portuguese Oak at Cask Strength, Barrel Drop but at 46%, plus a rare, limited edition single cask (think Sauternes, Bordeaux, Port, or Hungarian Oak finish) hand selected by our Founder & Master Distiller, Lewis Hayes.

Water will also be provided, as well as a guided discussion throughout the experience, offering insight into the DropWorks way of crafting world-class rum.

Managed to get both special casks and As much as im dying to open them im going to hold on to these for a while. Yes I know im missing out but if need be ill have to buy another... read more bottle 😄 but shout out to darren who reached out when I had trouble purchasing a bottle from another retailer and went out of his way to try and organise one for me. Luckily my bottle arrived but just the kindness and willingness was second to none. Seems the distilery not only is producing fantastic spirits but producing a great team aswel. Thanks again darren a true gent 👍
