What an excellent experience. Tour bought as a gift and what a gift.
Darren greeted us with a friendly smile and once everyone was there he gave us one hell of a guide into how DropWorks make their rum. Really knowledgeable... read more about rum and the way each flavour is made. Answered every question showing his true knowledge.
Honestly one of the best tours we've experienced. Great work Darren, highly recommend. Plus the tasting excellent and will be purchasing more in the future.

We were genuinely impressed by every aspect of this tour and tasting experience. From start to finish, our guide, Darren, was exceptional. He struck the perfect balance of being engaging, witty, entertaining, and informative, with an impressive depth of knowledge... read more and expertise that made the experience truly memorable.At 90 minutes, the tour is the ideal length, offering excellent value for money. The generous rum tastings throughout are a real highlight, giving you the chance to sample a fantastic selection along the way.I'd highly recommend this experience to anyone (not just rum enthusiasts). An added bonus is its location on the Welbeck Estate, so you can spend time exploring the beautiful gardens, café, and farm shop afterwards, making it a wonderful day out.

Had a very informative tour of the distillery. Craig was an awesome host and we learnt a great deal while having a good laugh. The brand, though in its infancy has some unique flavours, we sampled all the range and... read more left with a bottle of the Distillers Blend. A visit is highly recommended.

What a great experience. Do visit this distillery
As the driver I thought i'd be left out but was pleasantly pleased to be given samples to take home.
Darren was a wonderful, knowledgable and entertaining host. We got the full benefit... read more of his knowledge of the processes in the making of this distinctive rum, and were able to ask q's,and to to smell the stills, amazing.
What a great time
We also continued our time on the rest of the estate so spent the whole day there. We visited the galleries, the museum, the garden centre, and the trails as well as walking to the craggs as well
What a great day went home with 3 bottles..... 🙂
