Fabulous fun - What a fun way to spend a few hours! Neil really knows his stuff and brought the history of rum to life. We enjoyed the tasters, the banter, the knowledge and, of course, concocting our own brew. Would absolutely recommend this experience.

What a Great way to spend an evening. - What a lovely evening we had with our guide Neil and fellow Rum lover on our course. No question was ignored or implied not relevant and the chat, friendliness and entertainment were paired with lovely rums and tasting, alongside a historical tour of rum as we know it. To top it all we left with a beautiful bottle of rum, again expertly guided by Neil, that perfectly met our palette. I’d highly recommend it.

Rum-tastic - A fantastic day was had with Neil at Sip Antics on their rum experience. Neil was very knowledgeable and delivered in a light-hearted and personable manner. We enjoyed the history of rum, a couple of rum based drinks and made your own bottle. Highlight was the nosing of the aromats in their vast glory. Names like Grains of Paradise, Sichuan Pepper and Red Clover conjure exotic places and tastes...only a few more days to wait. Enter with an open mind and no preconception of what your rum might taste like as you'll have a cornucopia of choices that will expand your mind.

Fantastic evening - Amazing evening with Neil at Sip Antics making our own bottles of rum. Engaging and funny, took a lot of time to help us with the botanicals and even learnt some history too. Highly recommend for a fun, different, evening in Edinburgh.
