Absolutely loved my experience at Lord Byron at Byron Bay Rum Distillery! From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with warm hospitality and an inviting atmosphere. Brian, the CEO, was incredibly knowledgeable, taking the time to explain the rum-making process and the unique flavors he offered.
The variety of rums available was impressive, and each one had its distinct character that left me wanting to try more. The tasting session was a delightful journey through different profiles, leaving my taste buds pleasantly surprised.
The attention to detail in the distillery's design and time for environmentally friendly cycle was exceptional, creating a charming and rustic ambiance. It felt like I was transported to a different era, making the whole experience even more enjoyable.
To top it all off, the cocktails they crafted using their rum were top-notch! The mixologists were skilled and creative, along with the wood-fired flavour made tent that served us meat, salad, bread and pickles (AND on top of that) dessert resulting in the most delicious and memorable drinks I've had in a long time.
If you're a rum enthusiast or just looking for a unique and enjoyable outing in Byron Bay, this distillery is an absolute must-visit. I can't recommend Lord Byron at Byron Bay Rum Distillery enough – a fantastic destination that deserves all five stars!...

Located in a small but super cute and clean venue, the class is run by Alex, who is friendly and knowledgeable. He is either behind the bar, creating drinks or doing a master-class. The tour is perfect for singles, couples, or a group of four. A tour of the nearby family owned and operated distillery meeting Chris was insightful and fun. We appreciated their time and answers to lots of questions. The class is two hours and starts off with a beverage and takes you through the process. You can also simply visit for a drink, tasting and/or, to buy products. Essentially, the Lord Nelson distils Rum. At the end of our class, we enjoyed a couple of drinks. There is indoor and outdoor seating and a unisex clean toilet. I can highly recommend the Pina Colada - served in a fresh pineapple with the special ingredient being coconut butter - it literally was the best...

My partner & I visited Lord Byron Distillery's 'Cellar Door', bar & tasting room today and it was the best decision we made.
We were greeted with a smile & welcomed in like locals. The gentlemen serving us had a wealth of knowledge not only of their own rum, gin & alternate products but also of distilling in general, the history of spirits, the local area & much more.
There were many other groups that came & went through our stay and each group was greeted the same & treated the same !!
Whether you're a rum lover, a gin lover or neither, I would highly recommend stopping by & checking...
