The complete masterclass
A hands-on rum-making experience at our Antigua mini distillery, from your first tasting to your finished bottle.
Your seat at the still
In our covered, open-air classroom, each place is arranged around a live hot tabletop still. Your instructor begins with a safety briefing and remains available for personalised assistance throughout the class.
Check in at least five minutes early, meet your instructor and put on the apron we provide.
Explore a tray of six shots selected for the guided tasting. Water is available throughout.
Discover a concise history of rum making in the Caribbean and the craft behind the spirit.
Choose from our flavour library with guidance on combinations and disclosed allergens.
Build your blend, taste as you go, and test its alcohol percentage and proof.
Choose the name for your label, then bottle, cap, label and wax-seal your creation.
Receive your certificate, take photos and leave with the bottle you made.
Your recipe and your chosen label name. One bottle per individual booking, or one shared bottle per pair.
Proof that you completed the Academy of Rum masterclass.
Photos are encouraged throughout. Complete the moment with an official souvenir shirt, available to purchase separately.
