Kevin Beament, Co-founder of Craft Rum Club says: “In launching Craft Rum Club we wanted to disrupt rum's reputation as the harsh forgotten spirit. Bringing premium rums of all categories to the consumers' doorstep every month, taking them on a journey and educating them on the many types of production processes and the passion distillers infuse into their rums is the key aim.”
“We want to be the premier rum subscription club in the UK by elevating the rum category to new heights - not just through great rums, but through education and by making the younger generation connoisseurs of what they’re drinking.”
Customers of the service receive a monthly Craft Rum Club magazine with the latest cocktails of the month, rum background and distilling steps to help its consumers know where the rum they are drinking that month comes from, this spirit service comes with a list of impressive, high-class and exclusive treats for consumers to indulge in.
