A scam?

Purchased a six month rum box subscription in November 2024 as a gift. We received 2 boxes - November and December - both fantastic. Then a message was sent out in January 2025 informing me of a suspension to the subscription service. Not a word since then, calls and emails are ignored. A scam? Very disappointed. I have now reported them to UK Trading Standards.

No delivery after a week and no communication

Ordered a bottle of rum a week ago. Order still shows as processing. No response from email and phone numbers just go to voicemail. Left message and still no response.
Very disappointing. Delays are one thing, they happen, but lack of communication is just unacceptable.
Avoid.

1 item for the price of 2

I ordered 2 items from Craft Rum Club but only ever received one.
I have attempted to contact the team multiple times via email and phone (leaving a message on their voicemail) and have had no attempts to contact me back.
I would like to believe this is an innocent mistake, and the fact I did receive one item suggests this isn't a scam, but the lack of contact implies I am just £25 out of pocket.
I would be happy to update this review if the situation changes, but until then I feel I have exhausted my options.

Excellence in a box

Excellent service as always from craft rum club. This months rum box blows other companies out of the water, with exciting flavours, exclusive branding and goodies galore. Customer service is always outstanding and staff knowledgeable.
I won’t give spoilers, but true rum enthusiasts, you need to get your hands on the September bumper box!

If you’re looking for quality rum then look no further!…

I’ve been a member for 4 years and still each and every month they send fabulous rums that somehow manage to trump their previous months triumph. I honestly don’t know how they keep finding them all.

The customer service is first class. On the rare occasion that I had an issue, they responded fast and resolved promptly. The most memorable of these was when Royal Mail were striking and my box went missing, Craft Rum Club offered to hand deliver me a box despite being at least an hour’s drive away. You just wouldn’t get customer service like that from a big corporation!

Top class rum and customer service

I’ve been a member of the Craft Rum Club for a while and I’m loving my monthly rum fix. They’re a family business with a true passion for rum and their customer service is top class. This month, I received the amazing Carupano 12-Year Rum, I’d never heard of it but it’s an instant favourite. Had a great night sharing this with friends, trying out cocktails and the Carupano Rum Ritual. If you’re looking to experiment with rum, not the stuff in the supermarkets or the over-priced ones online join the Craft Rum Club. They’re not gin lovers looking to make a quick buck, they select great rums because they love rum and their customer service is outstanding. I highly recommend signing up!

Very disappointing - fake craft rum!

We were excited to receive an authentic spiced rum (as their website states) “from around the world” instead we got a bottle of Rumrise, which is from Horsham! A little investigation shows this isn’t a (following text from their website) “ best tasting Rums in the form of premium, craft and spiced from around the world.” , instead it’s a non craft “custom” rum more of a marketing gimmick over an authentic spiced rum.

Hi Nick

Thank you for reaching out to us and sharing your feedback. I'm so sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the spiced rum you received this month. We always strive to deliver the best craft rums and spiced rums to our members, so it's disheartening to hear that we didn't meet your expectations this time.

Each month we select a premium or craft rum and a spiced rum from around the world which includes rums and spiced rums from British distillers and blenders who either use rums sourced globally or import molasses/ sugarcane juice to distill from scratch. Spiced rums are unique and offer a variety of flavours and experiences. The Rumrise spiced rum, produced in the UK from rums sourced from Jamaica and the Dominican Republic are infused with natural fruits and spices, before being blended to produce the final product. It's worth mentioning that a lot of spiced rums available are crafted by UK distillers and blenders, each offering their own unique take on this beloved spirit.

British rums are on the rise and it's truly wonderful to see local distillers and blenders thriving and creating unique and high-quality products. In light of this, we feel it's important to show our support for these homegrown talents. By including British rums in our schedule, we not only get to share fantastic rums but also contribute to the growth of our local industry.

We truly value your feedback and want to make things right for you. Please email us with your plan details so we can further discuss this matter and explore options to ensure your future satisfaction with our club.

We appreciate your support and look forward to hearing from you.

Best Regards
Donna

Another great rum

Just received my monthly box of rum.
Lost years rum is absolutely superb. White rum but has the deep smoothness of a dark rum .
This company delivers the most unusual rum, its great to try all different ones every month that you can't buy in normal supermarkets or in a bar.
I love looking forward to new rums every month

If you like your rums spiced or “normal” then join Craft Rum Club

Iv been a member for over a year and Iv no interest in cancelling my subscription anytime soon.

Always pleasantly surprised with the quality of rums that come every month which a vast majority I would have never have tried if not for Craft Rum Club.
Which has helped me open up my mind and palate.

If there was any issue (very rare) then they will do anything possible to sort it.

Nothing but good things to say about Craft Rum Club

If you like your rums spiced or “normal” then join Craft Rum Club
Highly recommend

A great way to explore the world of Rum.

I've been a Member for more than 4 months now and have been delighted by the chosen Rum and all the other goodies you get each month. Really great service and excellent value for money. This is a new family company deserving of support from rum collectors and explorers here in the UK.
