Experience
Botanical Rum Distilling Class

Date
March 2020

What appealed to me to come to the distillery? “You are my favorite rum brand!” Of course I wanted to come.

I have quite a few taste hatches in my head so I actually put together the recipe for the Botanical rum myself. Also based on your taste suggestions such as “Warming & Spice” I got inspiration and together with my ideas I came up with a recipe.

“What makes your workshop so unique is that you actually get to take what you make home. It is very cool to distil it and it is also very tasty.”

It was nice that we received enough support during the distillation. What I have remembered from the explanation; don’t leave the tap open too far, haha!

“In addition to the Union Spice & Sea Salt that has always been at home, I now have a very tasty rum, which makes me very happy!”

This workshop is certainly recommended to colleagues, friends, family or anyone coming together. You get a unique experience, it is fun and you get something very cool and unique to take home.
