How to become a pirate
A fun experience learning about rum making, the history, the uniqueness of rum making on the island and the ingredients and science that go into making rum. And then you get to make your own special blend and have a bottle to enjoy on the rest of your holiday!

Great experience!
The Academy of Rum was well worthwhile and a fantastic experience. Our host Jo was funny, knowledgeable and engaging and made our whole time enjoyable. We tasted a variety of rums and each left with our own 750ml creations each. Highly recommend as something to do whilst visiting Antigua.

Amazing
This was one of the best experiences I’ve had in a long time. You get to taste a variety of their rums, the guide is very knowledgeable in history and sharing the process of how to make rum. Then you get to try different flavors to create your own unique rum. Make sure you think of a name for your rum though so you aren’t pressured on the spot! Such a fun experience. And you get to take home your creation to share back home.

An Absolutely Amazing Experience
The Rum Making Masterclass in Antigua was one of the highlights of our trip! The experience was fun, interactive, and incredibly informative. We learned about the history of rum, the distillation process, and what makes different blends unique - all in a way that was engaging and easy to follow. The instructor was knowledgeable, welcoming, and made the class enjoyable for everyone, whether you were a rum enthusiast or just looking for a unique experience. Creating our own custom rum blend was a memorable touch and made for a great souvenir to take home. If you're visiting Antigua and looking for something different to do, we highly recommend the Rum Making Masterclass. It's a perfect mix of education, hands-on fun, and local culture. Thank you for such a fantastic experience!
