I'm absolutely obsessed by rum. It's history, endless variety & styles, colourful tiki cocktails and the myriad of incredible flavours it offers.  I can confidently say that rum is the most misunderstood, complex, exciting and under-appreciated tipple on the planet.

​

What started as a bit of fun during lockdown, has rapidly moved through the phases of hobby, passion & obsession and, who knows, might end up taking on a life after lockdown.

The secret rum bar project took shape during lockdown with a series of local online tastings as an opportunity to meet new people and to share my love of the intriguing, enigmatic, underrated cane spirit.

​

The success of these tastings, and the fun everyone had through them during what was otherwise a very dark time, spurred me to keep pursuing 'this rum nonsense' :-)​​
