JimmyRum is the first craft rum distillery in Victoria and we are passionate about sharing our knowledge of rum. That’s why we have created unique events and experiences like this one.

We want you to get excited and enjoy the delicious flavors rum has to offer. Our distilling experience gives you the opportunity to get up close to where the rum magic all happens with our head distiller & founder of JimmyRum, James McPherson.

Best of all you can take home your very own blend made on the day while learning everything there is to know about the rum-making process.
