About

As the founder of Arcanist Rum, it wasn’t through any of the more usual channels that led me to start a brand of rum.

Having spent many years at University studying physics and travelling I always knew I wanted to forge my own path.

During my youth, my grandmother lived in the Caribbean, Grenada. I was fortunate enough to visit and remember touring The River Antoine distillery. A beautiful historic distillery that uses classic techniques to make a gorgeous rum. I completed a tour and tried some rum straight from the still. I can tell you as an 18-year old that was an amazing experience.

So I had a love of rum from a young age and a desire to build something of my own for a long time.

One summer I decided to try spicing rum. I purchased some Kilner jars, white rum, and a variety of spices to see if I could make something I enjoyed.

After much experimentation, I found a flavour I loved that I knew I wanted to share with the world. I called it Pineapple Elixir.
