Attended one of Luke's Rum making educational sessions recently with friends. Luke gave us a great 2 hours of interesting chat on Rum production, and the challenges and fun of his startup Rum business. Obviously we got to taste his collection of different Rums and were not dissappointed. Great way to spend a couple of hours.
Beautifully blended rum. I’ve had it with coke - which because of the cola flavouring of it already gave it a real depth. Even put it in an espresso martini and it worked very well!
We booked the 7pm tour along with 6 of our friends. Luke welcomed us and showed us through to the distillery. There were already labelled rum samples set out with a bit of info on the various rums and some nibbles on the tables. Luke gave us an insight into his background and what prompted him to start his business. He then explained the process of rum making and how he chose the various flavours in front of us. We sampled the various rums after learning a bit about them and finished with one of his cocktails. It was fun and informative and the rum was delicious. Even better it's very local to us and is currently a bit of a hidden gem.
Excellent quality and taste. Very quick delivery. Only very minor criticism is that the shape of lip on the bottle makes it impossible to pour without drips.
Tried a small bottle of this and used it in a Dark Rum Espresso Martini - absolutely fantastic. Now I need to order the big bottle to have on standby for the next session!
Thank you for creating the Tangerine Rum. It’s very tasty on its own with ice but I tried it with some soda the other night and liked it even more. Makes a lovely treat.
