About:

In our distillery and gourmet kitchen, we utilise local produce such as sugarcane, mangoes, and our own home-grown limes to create authentic flavours in signature hand crafted spirits and condiments.

The award winning rum spirit isn’t sweetened, caramelised or adulterated in any way except to be proofed and barrel-aged prior to bottling. We take pride in our hands-on approach when crafting small batch rums and liqueurs. Our products are distinctive and unquestionably ours and it’s our ability to produce pure syrup that makes every drop simply delicious.

During your 15 minute tasting session you will experience our range of rums and liqueurs and our non-alcoholic ginger beer, that are distilled and crafted onsite in our boutique micro distillery, along with our tantalising range of Chefs’ Gusto gourmet sauces and condiments.
