Spring Break Antigua 2026 - My wife and I had a great time. It was a hands on educational experience that was fun doing. Looking forward to sharing our rum with our friends back home.

Fantastic experience. - Fantastic experience. Went with my partner on the 19th March.   Lana our Rum host/instructor was funny and informative and explained the process very well. ( I don’t want to give too much away as it might spoil the experience for others)   The mixture of shots to sample was an experience, and we both enjoyed varies different ones.  The making of the rum and trying different rums was a great enjoyment, were now back in the Uk and looking forward to sampling our bottles this weekend. Would definitely recommend.

Super Fun!!! - Who would have thought that making your own Rum could be so much fun? Well, let's say starting with 6 shots of different kinds of Rum ...Yum!!! Our 2 instructors were kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. Both my husband and myself have created delicious flavours that were sealed with wax to take home with us. That's if we don't drink it all before our flight. Thank you for a super afternoon of fun!

Delicious and fun excursion - Very fun and informative activity. We tasted and made our own custom bottle of rum to take home. I highly recommend. They are also directly across the beach from a beautiful beach, so make a day of it. If you go on Thursday, end the afternoon at the party at Shirley Heights, which is just up the road. :)

A great experience - We booked this excursion via our hotel and it was one of our favourite trips during our stay. I can’t remember the name of the girl who ran the class but she was a young English girl and was very confident and knowledgeable on the rum making process and the different types of rum. It was great to be able to try the different flavours of rum and then decide what flavours you wanted to use for your own rum. It was also a nice touch to get our own personalised label for the bottle. Would definitely recommend this to any rum lovers.

Fabulous fun rum experience - A really fun 90 mins in the capable hands of Nelly and crew..... we've done a number of rum tasting tours throughout the Caribbean, but being able to create your own bottle of rum as well as the rum tasting made it unique and memorable ..... definitely recommend 👍🏼

Great experience. A must to do - We had a great time, we learnt about how rum is made and also had to taste the rum they produced. Had a chance to be able to make and take home your own rum. The guys were very informative and helpful in every way. Totally different experience, so much fun.

Learn, laugh and bottle your own Hangover! - Had an absolute blast with Nell at the Academy. Nell explained the process and it was really interesting! The tasting was fun and left a few of the people a little wobbly! Lol! Mixing the ingredients was, well, tasty and we were very happy with our concoction which we named Yum Yum Rum Rum! Price was reasonable and Nell was a great teacher and funny critic! Thank you.

A Masterclass - Masterclass is right. Your introduction to rum making is firmly practical and you will be drinking plenty in your education from novice to distiller. The staff are awesome and funny, the rum flows very freely and you leave with a bespoke momento. A momento which you will need as you float out of there way more than three sheets to the wind. Amazing, highly recommended for any visitor to Antigua.
