Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

A good way to spend a few hours. Well presented via reading posters and watching videos.
It really tells the story of slavery, and the generational institutional consumption of rum in society and the Navy. The Jefferson family appeared to have squandered the ill gotten gains and the production of rum is now very limited.

I'd been wanting to visit The Rum Story for some time and it really delivered. It outlines the connection between Whitehaven and the production (and consumption!) of rum. It links that connection with the story of slavery and doesn't seem to shirk from telling it warts and all.
The exhibition is well laid out and is accessible. It is a little dark in places so if you visit with someone who is sight impaired, just tread carefully.
The rum samples at the end of the visit are a welcome treat. A nice little gift shop with local products,
Worth the wait.

The rum was top notch. Unfortunately couldn’t make the tour due to time factor. Will definitely do it next time. Lots of different rums to try!

A fascinating and thought-provoking museum in Whitehaven telling the story of the towns' and Jefferson's family connection to the importation of rum from the Caribbean. Laid out over several floors it was educational with the story of the slave trade in particular, very humbling. The exhibition included the whole rum making process (still made the same today using the same equipment), the Jefferson’s story, how the trade was effected by the American prohibition and of course, rum's connection to the Royal Navy. The member of staff was extremely friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. Well worth a visit if you are in West Cumbria. We ended up buying a bottle or two because the tasters we were given were delicious.

What a great little museum! We went around with three adults and two kids (13 and 11). Lots to read and learn about slavery, sugar plantations and rum production, as well as the association with the Navy, pirates and Prohibition. We do read everything and so we spent 3 hours soaking up all the information. I’m sure you could whip around in an hour if you don’t want to look at everything. Some interactive bits and pieces, and a trail, kept the kids happy.
Enjoyed a taste of rum at the end, and bought ourselves a bottle to enjoy.
The ‘cafe’ is currently simple- hot drinks machine or soft drinks from a fridge, with a choice of biscuits- but we understand a new venture is setting up soon as a proper cafe offer. We’d definitely recommend the museum to other visitors to Whitehaven.

Great place to visit, we stumbled across this by complete accident and we really enjoyed it. Great to learn about the Story of Rum. We visited with teenagers, and there was a lot of information to read so probably wouldn't recommend for younger children, although there was small information boards that were aimed at children. The staff are lovely and friendly and the shop is well stocked with gifts and souvenirs

Note:
The modern day meaning of 'rum' in the phrase 'a right rum do' is an adjective meaning 'odd' or 'strange'. However in the 16th century when the term was coined it meant 'excellent' or 'great', which we feel describes my visit.
Very enlightening information on rum itself and the history and people behind it. Staff very friendly and informative. I came out with many topics to look up on. The building is very atmospheric! And samples of the rum currently sold!
Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!

Needed an indoor place ( inclement weather) stumbled on this place with low expectations. Paid our £9:95 each and left over 2 hours later. So we'll done, so much information on the history of rum in Whitehaven and the world, mentions the slave trade and prohibition. The best for us was the lady in reception. So knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the place and history it rubbed off on us. Free rum tasting at the end which meant I had to buy some. Please visit, its worth it and since covid is struggling for funding
