The Rum Infusionist began in the most humble of places—a garden shed in Hailsham, East Sussex. What started as weekend experiments with my uncle, dad, and a few close friends has grown into something we're incredibly proud of: a family-run distillery crafting some of the finest small-batch flavoured rums in the UK.
Those early days were filled with curiosity and passion. We'd gather around makeshift workbenches, testing combinations of fruits, spices, and botanicals, searching for that perfect balance of flavour. Each batch taught us something new, and every success brought us closer together as a family. What began as a hobby quickly became our calling.
Today, The Rum Infusionist remains true to those garden shed roots. We're still family-run, still hands-on, and still driven by the same passion for craftsmanship that inspired us from the very beginning.
Nestled in Hailsham, East Sussex, our distillery is where tradition meets innovation. We've stayed committed to small-batch production because we believe quality will always triumph over quantity. Every bottle that leaves our distillery has been crafted with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring that each sip delivers the exceptional flavour our customers have come to expect.
Our process is deliberately unhurried. We source the finest ingredients, infuse them with care, and give each batch the time it needs to develop its unique character. This isn't mass production—it's artisan craftsmanship at its finest.
At the heart of everything we do are the values that guide us:
Sustainability First – We're committed to sustainably sourced ingredients and environmentally conscious practices. Our planet matters, and we take our responsibility seriously.
Supporting Local – We proudly work with local farmers and suppliers across Sussex, strengthening our community while ensuring the freshest, highest-quality ingredients.
Vegan-Friendly – All our rums are 100% vegan-friendly, so everyone can enjoy our handcrafted spirits.
Quality Over Quantity – Small-batch production means we never compromise. Every bottle receives the care and attention it deserves.
Family Passion – We're not just business owners; we're a family pouring our hearts into every bottle we create.
From classic infusions to bold experimental blends, our range showcases the versatility and depth that quality rum can achieve. Each flavour tells its own story, crafted from carefully selected fruits, spices, and botanicals that create truly unique taste experiences.
"The best flavoured rum I've ever had."
"This is hands down the best craft rum in the UK."
These words from our customers remind us why we do what we do. Your support and enthusiasm fuel our passion every single day.
