A great experience - We had a great time sampling rums and learning about the process of making rum (and spirits in general), we also got 10% discount in the shop afterwards for our "take home" purchases.

Shakespeare Distillery Rum School. Great day - Had a fantastic 3 hours yesterday at Shakespeare Distillers rum school, making 2 bottles of Uncle Alberts Grog. Sam, Dave and "Stratford" Claire were all so knowledgeable, engaging and clearly passionate about what they do. As a seasoned rum drinker, who has been to several rum distillers in the Caribbean, I learnt so much more about rum yesterday that I wasn't previously aware of. The whole afternoon, from start to finish was so much fun, and so enjoyable. All helped along by a liberal amount of samples and tasters. We also had the pleasure of sitting next to the worlds number 1 digger bucket saleswoman!! (Hope you are reading this!). I would urge anyone that enjoys their rum, and enjoys a laugh to book this experience. The only down side....having to wait for 2 weeks for my rum to mature before I can open it!!! Thank you all for a great afternoon.

A rum time! - We had a really great time at our Shakespeare Distillery Rum School Experience. It was really hands on, you learn how to use the still and condenser, and can pick from a massive assortment of flavours to make your rum your own. Claire was entertaining and informative and helped us choose flavour profiles that would go well. While making your own rum the samples and cocktails were flowing, which definitely helps the process! It's a family owned business and they make delicious spirits, and we bought some to take home alongside our own one from the shop downstairs.

We tasted the flavour & history about gin & rum at Judith’s in Stratford Upon Avon - What a really great experience we had🥳 the history of the building and the story off how they founded the distillery was fascinating 🤩. Katherine’s talk was very interesting & she has lovely sense of humour & was very personable, nothing was too much trouble. It’s ideal for friends & families for a relaxing fun & informative experience. We enjoyed delicious samples of the alcohol made by the Shakespeare distillery & we bought some at the end of the session. We all would highly recommend the experience. We made it part of our great day in Stratford Upon Avon. We intend to go back and try the main distillery school to make our own. All of the staff are amazingly friendly, professional & very helpful. Thank you to all at Judith’s (Especially to Katherine & also to Carol who gave us samples downstairs) 🙏 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
