What we do
Each month, we host intimate events at Merchant House in London, featuring premium rums, guest brand ambassadors, and unique themes like Agave vs. Rum.
Our goal? To bridge the gap between the novice and the connoisseur, and to create a space where everyone feels welcome to explore and enjoy rum. We’ve partnered with leading brands like Appleton, Barbancourt, Black Tot, and Worthy Park, and we’re just getting started.
Come for the rum, Stay for the experience. Intimate settings, Hands-on experiences, Global rum brands,
Open to all levels
