Rum Tours In Bude

Located just on the outskirts of Bude at North Barton you will find the home of The Cornish Distilling Co. the creation of Richard Harding, Fionagh Harding and Tom Read (Sue Read’s son or Graeme’s nephew).

Having completed a PhD in Chemistry, Tom set out to create one of Cornwall’s first scratch distilled rums, using exceptional ingredients and a knowledge to match.

In 2017, the first batch of rum was released and called Kalkar, a genuine British distilled rum, blended with single-origin cold coffee brew. Don’t just take our word on how good this rum tastes, it won 3 gold stars, at the Great Taste Awards in 2017!

Since then a further three rums have joined the collection.

Rum Tours

The Cornish Distilling Co. are renowned for creating exceptional rum and they have decided to swing open the doors to their state of the art distillery and share their love of this spirit with you! The tours included a guided tour and most importantly a tasting session where you’ll learn about the different ingredients and the best mixers!

They will introduce you to the world of distillation. From the fermentation of molasses, the distillation of the ‘wash’, to the blending and bottling of the finished rum. The tour will walk you through the new factory culminating in a tasting session.

Time: The tour lasts approx. 60 minutes.

Price: £15 per person

Tours run every Monday and Wednesday between 2pm – 5pm. You must book in advance. Children over 14 years old are welcome on the tour free of charge but they will not be permitted to take part in the tasting.

If you can’t make a tour, all of Tom’s rums are available at The Courtyard and The Loft. Could this be your new favourite tipple?
