Our Story
A tradition you can taste
Over 30 Years in the making
Our founder David Howarth visited Antigua when he was 22 and was forever moved by his first authentic island experience that holds vivid in his memory 30 years on.
Whilst enjoying a beautiful rum punch, listening to steel drums being played to the backdrop of Shirley Heights, David was inspired to make a drastic career change, relocate, and spend the next three decades travelling, living and working across the Caribbean.
Exploring flavours
Soaking up every inch of the islands’ captivating culture, his appreciation for rum grew as he discovered the nuances of the regional blends influenced by each distillery’s surrounding terroir – whether that be the shores of Jamaica or the coastal hillsides of Barbados.
House of Rum was born to celebrate these undiscovered, rare regional intricacies, provide a platform for them, through the creation of sought after, specially selected aged and blended rums.
