Our host was very enthusiastic and great fun to learn from! The rum was excellent and the service was great
Very knowledgeable host.
Elise smashed her first time hosting a rum tour, she was so bubbly and friendly & the quiz was a fab way to stay engaged. When they say 5 rums, they actually mean 10 minimum, including some really cool flavours and 84% one that youβre only allowed a drip of. So boozy! & the free snacks and cocktails to go with it all were an amazing bonus. I highly recommend to anyone who likes rum, or even just a fun afternoon. Thanks Elise!
Had a great time, in the end tasting 6 different rums...good fun with the other people on our tasting session. Rosie was a fantastic host, very knowledgeable and charming! We had a really nice rum cocktail and snacks too...highly recommended!
Would highly recommend, lots of fun and Max our host was very knowledgeable and friendly
This was bought as a Father's Day gift by my son; so can't comment on booking or cost.
The host was very knowledgeable, funa and entertaining. Good selection of rums and rum types, which the host guided you through. You learned a lot about what to look for concerning 'legs' and different flavour aromas.

Loved it. Great gift idea.
Unbelievable experience, the host Tom really knew his stuff. We didn't just have a great time drinking and trying new rums but we also found a new respect for the drink after learning the history of the 5 rums we tasted. A really fun quiz as well, that rewarded us with more drinks. Definitely up for doing this again and would recommend to anyone and everyone.

We had a brilliant host, Tom, who was really fun to learn from and really enthusiastic about what he does.
We all genuinely learnt alot and really valued his expertise whilst having a really nice time.
The food and drink that came as part of the 'package' was lovely too, as was the restaurant, ambience and the rest of the staff too.
The Rum tasting at Nadu was a great experience! Very informative and entertaining. We enjoyed the rums we tasted and also the small platter of yummy food! We would recommend this experience to others.
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 β 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!
Our host Tom was great, he led an informative and entertaining experience which was enjoyed by all. His enthusiasm for rum was clear to see and we were lucky enough to be offered a few extra tastes of rums that were particularly interesting.
A great way to spend an afternoon! We loved learning about and drinking rum, our host was so knowledgable and expressed genuine passion for rum and its history. We'll definitely be back for more cocktails and the food was delicious!! (we purchased food separately to the tasting, it smelled too good to not try and we were not disappointed).
Tom was an amazing and enthusiastic host; he helped us to learn absolutely loads about the history of rum - and how to really enjoy drinking it! A highly recommended experience.
Lovely host, great to learn about the history of rum! Tasty rum!
Really interesting and a lot of fun. Chris was hugely knowledgeable. Lovely cosy atmosphere-perfect for a winter afternoon
Had a good time and changed my perceptions of rum as a drink. I think our host was called Isabelle or Isabella, she was great anyway and did a really good job - friendly and knowledgeable
Great introduction to the diversity of different rums and the history of the drink.
Really amazing experience, our host was super enthusiastic and generous! Didn't realize I could like rum this much
Amazing
