Highlights
  • The Cumberland Bar - You will be welcomed to a bespoke micro distillery room where you will receive a rum and mixer on arrival. Guests will be allowed to settle in with a run through of the outline of the class. Each guest will then try three different rum tasting samples and then design their own bespoke rum recipe from the available ingredients. Guests will then use an individual mini copper still to distill their chosen ingredients to produce a 500ml (50cl) bottle of rum to take home with them. While their rum is distilling they will enjoy a cocktail and once their rum has been distilled, they will taste their newly made rum before bottling, labelling, naming and wax sealing their end product to take away with them.

Additional Information

This rum distilling experience is a very hands on, bespoke, personal and very knowledgeable workshop like no other in the country. Upon entry to the building you will be warmly greeted by your host upstairs at the main entrance. You shall then be guided to our bespoke micro distillery and once settled you are given a welcome rum and mixer followed by a brief outline of the running of the experience and history of the distillery. Next comes a short history of rums from around the world and a rum tasting section to help you come up with a rum recipe to distill your bottle of rum. Guests then pick a total of 6-10 ingredients from our botanical library to help them create and distill their own rum bottle. While distillation takes place, guests enjoy a rum cocktail. When distillation finishes, guest bottle their rum, add a label with their chosen rum name and finally wax seal their bottle to take away with them.

Excellent afternoon tasting and making rum - Great afternoon with Neil at the Rum School, Edinburgh. Neil was extremely informative about the history of rum and gave us a taste of the different styles of rum before helping us to make our own distillation using the variety of botanicals available.
