You NEED To Be Here! - This was an awesome, if not entertaining, experience! If you come to Antigua, you need to be here. You hear me?... You NEED to be here! We had a, um, "loaded" class. (Yeah, you can take that both ways! LOL) Seriously, every seat was filled and we all had a great time together. The process and instruction goes by very fast and it is intense at times, yet the instructor makes it understandable all along the way. Let's be clear: you are making your very own bottle of flavored rum. You'll be using a hydrometer to determine the The biggest challenge is understanding and interpreting your own taste-buds. There are a dozen or more of flavor inclusions - coconut, banana, cinnamon, all spice, vanilla, etc - and it might help to begin challenging your nose and tongue on various flavors before coming here. Train 'em up, in other words. Other than that, sit down and enjoy the 2-hour experience. It will fly by. Indeed, it is good money spent.

Fun experience & your own bottle of rum - The process of adding the flavors to the rum was easy but would have liked a little better direction on pairings. It was difficult to determine if the overall combinations would work but it was cool to be able to create a label with our own unique name. The wax sealed top was also a nice touch. The one of team member's that was there the day of our event could have been a little more helpful. My husband was interested in a shirt and she just seemed very disinterested in interacting with any of the groups once we had finished up so he didn’t buy one. Overall, I would recommend because of the fun process of coming up with the name, mixing flavors and of course getting to sample several of the different Rums available.
