Best Rum Masterclass In Edinburgh - highly recommended ! - Had such a good time. Neil was a delight, so knowledgeable and funny … bringing to life the history of Rum … we had cocktails, straight rum & walked away with our own Rum creation. 3 hours plus … masterclass - good value for money. Xxx

A fun and interesting afternoon! - This was a fantastic fun experience from start to finish. The 3 hours just flew by in the blink of an eye thanks to the brilliant chat and guidance from Neil. There was so much more to the afternoon than I expected and Margaret and I really enjoyed every minute of it. If you fancy treating someone to something a bit different or even treating yourself, then definitely do this- I promise it’s something you won’t regret! Taking away the bottle of my own rum at the end almost felt incidental!!

Brilliant experience - Fantastic afternoon with Neil as we created our handmade and handcrafted bottles of rum. We were entertained with the history of rum making, the different types of rum and names for rum from across the world. Neil proved to be knowledgeable and supportive with his knowledge especially when it came time for us to create our own rums. Fantastic venue and the wealth of bottles on display add fuel to the imagination as we created our own bottles of rum! Food upstairs Is great for a Pitstop afterwards as well!

Made My Own Rum - Very welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable & entertaining. The experience was most enjoyable. Learning how to blend to your individual taste. Final result was very pleasing as I had distilled my own bottle of personalised rum.

Highly recommended: rum school of Neil - Great afternoon! Neil had plenty of time for the two of us and we both ended up making our own bottle of rum. After explanation, a lesson in history and a lot of smelling started distilling Koala Magic & Captain Jaap 🥃🥃
