Written by the company

Great British Rum Award winning Revival Rum is expertly crafted on our farm in the heart of the Northamptonshire countryside. Master distiller, James Singlehurst, has a passion for rum and a keen interest in distilling for over 20 years. Inspired by the traditional Jamaican rum production methods, James has recreated these in our countryside distillery. Our rum’s distinct flavour comes from the long, slow fermentations (40+ days) and extra richness and depth derived from using a traditional copper double retort still. Releases include Revival Rum Unaged, Spiced, Honey & Anise, Aged, FB90 (overproof) and Flammable (151). We also offer distillery tours by appointment.

Great product, excellent service

I was recommended to try Honey and Anise in a magazine article. I am not a rum addict but thought I would give it a try. Excellent product and well worth the price. Finished it quickly and ordered another bottle. James responded with personal emails, not the standard corporate auto replies plus a hand written comps slip with the new bottle (and a gift miniature - thanks James). All the excellent reviews have convinced me to take the tour as soon as I can. Even though I live in south London, it sounds like the effort will be very worthwhile.

These rums are a cut above the rest

We received the Tour as a Christmas gift. We were not sure what to expect but thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. James was so passionate and knowledgeable about the distilling, so refreshing. We could have talked for hours with him. The variety of rums and different tastes was amazing. We came away feeling as if we were wearing our favourite woolly jumpers, all warm and relaxed. Would definitely recommend the Tour (and rums) to all

Revival Rum tour

My husband and I visited Revival Rum for a tour, on the recommendation of The Good Food Club. James, the owner and chief distiller, is very knowledgeable as well as entertaining. He pitched his explanation of the rum-making process at just the right level and was very happy to answer questions. My husband enjoyed sampling the rum and felt it to be of very high quality. I , as the driver, was given 4 miniature bottles plus a glass to take away.
We can both highly recommend the experience.

Great tour, greater rum

My wife and I went to the distillery tour; James is incredibly knowledgeable about his field, but makes the whole process very friendly for those unfamiliar with the ‘how’ behind the rum. My wife got to sample rums from the cask’s, whilst I received a sample pack as the designated driver. Great intro to distilling and incredible rum.

A perfect present

Ordering the rum was easy and quick. Delivery was as stated.
If you offered a presentation box including a glass, hence the four stars, it would have been a perfect present. By the way I tried your rum at a market and it’s good very good.

Hi Nigel,
I was a little bit slow getting off the mark with gift boxes. However, we now have them in stock. We will be supplying them with a bottle, branded glass and 4 Revival Rum truffles!
Apologies for being a bit slow off the mark.
Kind regards,
James

Unmissable Experience at Revival Rum Distillery!

We had an incredible time touring Revival Rum Distillery, and James was the absolute highlight of the visit. From the moment we arrived, he was warm, welcoming, full of energy and such good fun to be around! His knowledge of rum was outstanding, and he shared it with such passion and clarity that even the most casual rum drinker would walk away feeling like an expert.

James struck the perfect balance between informative and entertaining, making the whole experience engaging from start to finish. His hospitality was second to none, and it genuinely felt like we were being hosted by an old friend who just happened to know everything there is to know about rum.

If you’re even remotely curious about rum, or just want a brilliant day out, I highly, highly recommend visiting James at Revival Rum. You won’t regret it!
