Whether you're a rum lover, a history nut or simply a fan of fun days out, a trip to the Oliver Rum Lab is well worth the visit. They've been producing award-winning rums since 1874, so you'll have the chance to learn about the distillation process and different sugar canes it's made from. And to top off the history lesson there'll be a rum tasting session, too. Plus, if you want to indulge your sweet tooth you can also choose a chocolate materclass.

Whilst this is a rum tasting tour it should be made clear that the rum provided has been curated to taste like whiskey which I do not like had this been mentioned in the description I would not have booked it! Also half of the tour also involves cigar tasting which as a non smoker I did not take part in this also wasn’t mentioned in the description and I feel I ended up paying for a service I neither wanted or requested! The staff however were really friendly and knowledgeable

It was meant to be 2- 4 hours and the tasting was done in 30 mins

Great experience, found very informative, well worth the money . Great host , friendly, knew his stuff made us all think on what to look at , savour the taste and smell . Nice to do something different

Very knowledgeable presenter and the food pairing was really interesting

Not so much a tour, more of a talk and rum tasting in the back room of a gift shop. We expected a tour of a distillery.

Poorly organised. We had to wait an hour on arrival for the 'experience'. It's all geared to getting you to spend money in the shop at very high prices. Poor value for money.
