Rum Blending Experience

Unlock the Secrets of British Rum at Our Exclusive Weekend Rum Academy

Step into the world of rum like never before at our exclusive Rum Academy. Set in the heart of our Oxfordshire distillery, this after-hours experience invites you to explore the fascinating history and craftsmanship behind our unique range of British rums, all distilled right here in the UK.

Discover Your Inner Master Blender
Guided by our rum experts, you’ll dive deep into the art of blending, crafting your own signature rum using our exceptional collection of cask-aged rums. From Islay to sherry, bourbon to virgin oak, you’ll have access to a variety of rare and distinctive rum profiles to create a blend that’s entirely your own. Your custom rum recipe will even be kept on file, so you can reorder your masterpiece whenever the mood strikes.

Sip, Blend, and Revel in the Experience
This is no ordinary rum tasting. As the evening unfolds, you’ll enjoy three expertly crafted rum cocktails, each designed to complement your blending journey. It’s a full sensory experience that’ll leave you with not just knowledge, but a one-of-a-kind bottle of rum to take home and treasure.

Copper Pot Distilled

We distil all our spirits the traditional way using our two copper pot stills. They play a huge part in producing our smooth & flavoursome award-winning spirits.

One Shot Method

All our gins are distilled using the ‘one shot’ method. Only purified water is added post distillation and we don't use concentrates, artificial colours or flavourings

Small Batch

We produce hand crafted spirits with the utmost quality. Our batches are no more than 130 bottles so we can keep total control on production quality levels.
