Why ours tastes different

Three honest reasons — no marketing fog.

Real fruit, by the kilo
Real fruit, by the kilo

Twenty kilos of cherries in a Rumaretto batch. Whole fruit cold-steeped for weeks — never syrups, never "natural flavourings".

A rum base, not neutral spirit
A rum base, not neutral spirit

Everything starts on our British rum — warmth and body underneath the fruit, where most flavoured spirits start from nothing.

Bottled by one family
Bottled by one family

Tom, Dad, Mum and George. Every bottle filled, corked, labelled and packed by hand — and it says so because it's true.

Beetroot is used for colour only — it adds no flavour. We have tried to repeat the colour and cannot, so there will be no second run.

Our Story

From a Garden Shed to a Sussex Distillery

What started as a passion project in a garden shed is now a fully licensed Sussex distillery. We hand-infuse every batch of rum with real fruit — the same fruit that goes into our small-batch jams. Nothing wasted, everything bursting with flavour.

We’re the Conway family, and every bottle that leaves our distillery carries our name and our promise: genuine craft, no shortcuts, made with love.
