Superb service

Superb service especially over the Christmas period.
I had a panic over the weekend as I’d forgotten a gift for my brother in law, thankfully The Rum Company saved the day.
The parcel was expected to arrive Wednesday but DPD had delayed delivery. I contacted The Rum Company who promptly arrived (on Christmas Eve Eve!) and the parcel was delivered the next day. The presentation box is lovely and information you get with the rum is a great addition.

Rum joy

What a joy to receive these bottles of mango and pineapple flavoured rum. This club is ideal as you get to sample different types of rum and decide if you like it before purchasing the full sized bottle. Worth the membership fee. I'm going to enjoy receiving more samples.

Amazing Salford Rum from The Rum Company

Amazing Salford Rum, spicey and very nicey!

You don't have to be a connoisseur to appreciate this beautiful rum. Just pour, savour the fabulous fragrance and enjoy!

Packaged in its own snug protective air-jacket, it arrived in good time.

Will definitely order from The Rum Company again.

Great customer service

Great customer service, speedy delivery and great product. I order 6 of the taster sets for my team and I was really impressed with the quality and presentation of the items. Great packaging and presentation box, there were taste profile cards for each of the rums (including suggested mixers) and amazing rum too. Would definitely recommend.

Fast delivery & great packaging!!

I’m always sceptical about buying from ads on social media...I couldn’t be more wrong! I did not have to worry at all with The Rum Company! They are fantastic!! Such a large selection of rums you don't find on the shelf in tesco! Unique presents for my family with such nice packaging...almost didn’t wrap them up for Christmas. Will definitely be ordering again :)
