Great short taster session

Great little experience. A welcome punch first, then Guides take you through the interesting history in a room, and watch a video about the distillery. Tastings of 4 different rums, and chance to buy drinks in the lovely bar area afterwards. Well worth the money and the shop is really good value too.
