Rum Rules! - A Masterclass

Rum Rules! - A Masterclass

The traditional history of modern-style rum tells of its invention in the Caribbean, in the 17th century, by slaves on sugarcane plantations, who discovered that molasses, a by-product of the sugar refining process, could be fermented into alcohol, and then distilled.

What better way to learn of the history of Caribbean rum in a fun and interactive class and then create and conceive your own bespoke 750ml bottle of flavored rum complete with label under the watchful and helpful eyes of experts in a 90-minute rum masterclass?

You will be met on the pier and driven the 35 minutes or so in your air-conditioned vehicle to picturesque and historic Galleon Beach in the English Harbour area.

Now the fun begins: our experts will show you how to create truly exceptional and unique rum. They will take you through a selection of rum flavoring samples to help you create your own rum blend as unique as your imagination. The characteristics of rum are varied and unique. We’ll teach you the art of tasting and blending your rum during the distillation process to create a perfect bottle for you.

Each guest works with their own pot still to create a bottle of rum truly unique to them, distilled in the traditional West Indian way. By the end of the class, you’ll take away a 750ml bottle of your own exceptional bespoke rum. Once you’ve created your rum, we’ll take you through the bottling and labelling process to ensure it looks as distinctive as the rum you’ve created. Personalized labels and a wax sealed bottle ensure you can take your rum home safely and proudly share your one-of-a-kind creation.

Then it’s time for the journey back to Falmouth with your precious ‘cargo’ to rejoin your awaiting SeaDream yacht.
