Absolutely a great time on this tasting and distillery tour, Darren our host was very informative and passionate about thier rum and thier distillery and the rum industry in general. We had a welcome rum cocktail and then tasting of... read more all thier rums. The samples were generous, any body driving were giving smaller samples and then 2 x 50 ml bottles of thier personal favourite to take home. We never understood the rum industry and the different whys it us made, we have a much better understanding now, and a appreciation of good English rum. Recommend this to anyone who likes rum.

As a daily sipper of aged Caribbean, Guatemalian & Columbian expressions, I thought I knew most things about rum—but I was genuinely blown away by this experience. Darren was a fantastic, deeply knowledgeable host whose passion for the craft is... read more absolutely infectious. The tour itself offers a lot to see and, crucially, plenty to sample.
