Awesome activity! - If you weren’t a rum fan in particular before coming to Antigua you will leave one! Great class you learn about the process and make your own flavoured bottle to keep. Very enjoyable and well done, plus all the rums we got to try as part of the class were very good, 10/10 recommend.

Official rum master - The British woman was absolutely fantastic. She was patient when we were going through the measurements and very informative when talking about the rum and its history. She's very knowledgeable as I learnt a lot from this session. Would highly recommend to others, especially if you love a drink. Signature rum right here.

Rum lovers - This place is GREAT! Yana did such an amazing job, explaining the history and the science behind rum and rum making. She is a class act. The combination of the rum tasting is spot on and the flavor and taste was amazing. The beach is right across the way. We went and got in the blue water, and had a blast. It was just and all around amazing experience.No hangover, We had zero issues booking or finding the location. My only quarrel is the price through the app. This was one of my favorite experiences in Antigua. I would definitely recommend it and I will be going back.

Amazing🥰🥰 - As a local who can never get enough of the beach, my experience was unmatched and soothing. The atmosphere gave off a real Hawaiian vibe—relaxed, breezy, and welcoming especially with the beach nearby. The class lasted maybe about an hour and my friends and i enjoyed every moment of it. It was only 3 of us but the instructor of the class brought so much energy to the class. He was attentive, patient, and made the whole experience fun with his sense of humor.” Shout out to Johnai The fee was affordable and offered great value for the experience. Absolutely worth it.

Go make some rum and have fun!! - Amazingly fun and interesting time. If you want to do something different than beach, water, and boating, this was a blast. Engaging and educational session learning about the rum making process. We made two bottles with different flavors of rum. So fun. Would do again in a heartbeat.
