The spirit of the Caribbean

Thirty years in the making, House of Rum delivers authentic flavours that embody the soul of this iconic region

House of Rum has arrived, unapologetically, to disrupt and enlighten when it comes to redefining the Caribbean’s most desirable export. Founded on the principle that every rum created is a Limited Edition, House of Rum’s super-premium and premium collection of unique rums encapsulates the passion held by its founder David Howarth for the Caribbean region.  

At 22 years old, David visited Antigua and was so moved by his first authentic island experience that it lives in his memory 30 years on. 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 and 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 on the shores of Jamaica or the coastal hillsides of Barbados.

House of Rum was born to celebrate these undiscovered, rare regional intricacies, and provide a platform for them through the creation of sought- after, specially selected aged and blended rums. Truly one of a kind, those with a discerning taste can be afforded the opportunity to collect and experience the exceptional flavours of the Caribbean brought to life through House of Rum’s collection, courtesy of some of the oldest and finest distilleries situated across the whole of the region.
