The experience begins at the Wingfield Estate, home of the Caribbean‘s oldest surviving rum distillery. During this Kittitian RumMaster course, rum expert Jack Widdowson (founder of Old Road Rum company) will teach rum theory and the history of rum production methods.

While sipping Old Road Rum and learning the history, guests will see a preserved aqueduct, chimney, mill house, boiling house, and lime kiln and learn how to label their own rum bottle.
Part two takes place at the lively Spice Mill Restaurant on Cockleshell Bay and is run by rum expert Roger Brisbane. This course will showcase spiced rum creation methodology, rum-blending techniques, and cocktail creations.
