Fun rum making class! - This rum-making class was such a fun and unforgettable experience! From start to finish, it was engaging, hands-on, and full of laughs. The instructors made the process easy to follow while sharing fascinating tips and stories about rum. The best part? Getting to create my very own custom rum to take home! It’s such a joy to share it with friends and family and say, “I made this!” A perfect mix of learning, creativity, and good vibes—highly recommend!

A must do! - If you’re coming from the cruise port or staying on the north side of the island, plan for the taxi fare to get there as we found that to be very costly. Once we got there we loved every minute. Our host Jodi made us feel right at home even though we were late getting there. She made the experience fun for us.

One of the highlights of our 10 year anniversary! - My wife and I came here as part of our 10 year anniversary to Antigua. We rented a car and drove down to this end of the Island from Galley Bay Resort. This experience making the rum and learning more about the process was AMAZING. The two girls who were running the class were so much fun and made the experience that much more enjoyable. Not only was the class amazing, but the setting in which it takes place is so special. Tucked away in a quiet little beach area with the typical breathtaking ambiance of Antigua beaches! Overall, I don't care where you are on the island, this rum making class is an absolute MUST.

Rum With Friends - This was such a fun experience getting to learn about and go through the process of making rum. The mash is prepared ahead, but the distillation process is started once you are seated. While you wait, you try a flight of the different rums and learn about flavoring your own rum. Next begins the process of creating your own preferred blend. Our instructor was incredibly knowledgeable and an outstanding teacher during the entire process. She helped us to create a flavorful result, a beautiful and tasty bottle of rum!

Amazing rum making experience - This class was INCREDIBLE!! You start with a tasting a several of their flavors of rum, and the lovely instructor explains how each are made, (fastest I’ve ever gotten drunk) and then you mix your own flavors to create your own bottle. I cannot recommend this class enough to everyone it was incredibly fun, and the stuff was SOOOO funny, kind, and knowledgeable. 100/10 experience

Custom rum - They will run the still for you while they describe how the rum is made. You get a few samples of their rum and then the fun starts. You get to try some of the flavorings and you take a sip of the rum straight off the still. They tell you how to mix everything and proof it down, pour it into the bottle and custom label it (have a name for your bottle ready). Overall worth the trip to the distillery just to have a custom flavored bottle of rum

Could have been so much better - Disappointed, some of the rums given to taste were good, but then not given as a choice for your own flavours. Staff seemed annoyed by the customers most of the time. Little information given about the history of rum making. Could have been so much better.
