This unique establishment promises to take rum lovers on a thrilling journey through the dark and intriguing world of infamous villains, each represented by a carefully crafted rum.

The grand opening set the stage for an unforgettable experience. Join me on this villainous journey.

My First Impressions Of Villains Rum Of York

Upon entering, guests are immediately immersed in an ambiance that is both mysterious and inviting.

I loved the limited lighting creates an intense setting, perfect for catching your attention to explore deeper into the various rums on display.

Each bottle is accompanied by unique images of the villains they represent, sparking curiosity and conversation.

For me, what truly sets this shop apart is the staff’s warm interaction with visitors.

They are eager to share their knowledge of the Villains and passion for rum, offering samples of the rums on display.

The Caramelized Pineapple Rum personally stood out to me. It’s sweet and tropical ingredients perfectly balanced with a hint of spice, making it a delightful treat for the my palate.

My Experience Of Villains Rum Tour

I was personally invited to the soft launch of the Villains Rum Shops tour experience.

Tours are conducted every hour, lasting approximately 45 minutes, and are led by guides who bring the stories of the villains to life.

During the tour, guests are introduced to five selected rums, each inspired by a notorious figure.

For instance, the Chilli Spiced Rum draws inspiration from the infamous Guy Fawkes, with the guide sharing captivating facts about the villain and their connection to York’s history.

The experience is designed to be relaxed and informative, guests are encouraged to engage with the guide and ask questions but are never pressured to.

I won’t go into detail and spoil the tours exciting ending but i really do recommend booking your experience.

Shambles Market Stall
