We went for our 22nd Wedding anniversary, met fun folk also enjoying the session hosted by Tom. An amazing journey into Rum, which included; history, "Read the glass" (top notes, bottom notes, legs), a great afternoon, thank you Nadu & Yuup. Felt like a real Bristol think...
This experience was really great fun! Very very informative and very good value for money. Lovely and very knowledgeable host.
Loved our rum tasting experience with Tom – his knowledge of rum & its history was fascinating and we felt like we experienced a wide range of flavours from behind the bar. The kale chips & welcome drink were especially delicious!
