Your bottle is sealed and packaged. Most cruise lines allow duty-free alcohol in sealed containers — check your specific cruise line's policy. The bottle is a standard size, well within cruise line allowances.
The workshop involves tasting, but participation is flexible. Non-drinkers are welcome to blend and take the bottle home as a gift. A non-alcoholic welcome drink is available.
Agricultural rum is made from fresh sugarcane juice rather than molasses. It produces a spirit with more aromatic complexity and a cleaner flavour profile. All Rumhuys base rums are agricultural rum.
