Rum lovers - don't miss this!

Chelsea 20 January 2025

Had a fantastic time learning about the history, science and flavours of rum! We were to be able to watch the entire distillation process and take home a small bottle of white rum (divided amongst the group). We were also provided a bite to eat at the conclusion of the tour. All in all - great value and a great experience!

Elissa 3 September 2022

We absolutely loved our rum tasting with James! It was very educational, interesting and fun! Exceeded all our expectations. I wanted to learn more about hard liquors and that’s exactly what I did. Cant wait to crack into my Pinot rum!

When an engineer creates rum = science brilliance
