THE SPIRITS

Small‑batch, award‑winning rum

The distillery produces an award‑winning rum spirit that is not sweetened, caramelised or adulterated except for proofing and barrel ageing — a pure example of their hands‑on, small‑batch approach.

THE FLAVOURS

Local produce drives the range

The tasting showcases products made with local inputs — sugarcane, mangoes and home‑grown limes — and includes distilled liqueurs, ginger beer and the Sugar Shed’s gourmet sauces and condiments.

THE FORMAT

A quick, focused tasting

Designed for visitors short on time, the session lasts 15 minutes and is a handy way to preview products before purchase or as a stand‑alone experience.
