点评:We had an absolutely brilliant time at the Rum story in Whitehaven- a fascinating and immersive visitor attraction that exceeded all our expectations. From the moment you step inside the original 18th-century Jefferson's warehouse and offices, you're transported into a vivid journey through history.
The exhibition is exceptionally well laid out, taking you from a lush Caribbean rainforest and the stories of sugar cane and rum production, through the rum's role in maritime history, smuggling, American prohibition, and even life on board royal navy ships. It's both educational and entertaining - and accessible even if you not a rum enthusiast.
The attention to detail is superb - especially the original Jeffersons' office, which feels like a real step back in time. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We spent an hour exploring, learning and chatting with the team.
This place isn't just a museum, it's a story, an experience, and a wonderful piece of cumbrian heritage. Truly a hidden gem worth seeking out, especially on a rainy day or as part as a trip to Whitehaven.

展览布局精妙,从郁郁葱葱的加勒比雨林和甘蔗、朗姆酒的生产故事,到朗姆酒在航海史、走私、美国禁酒令,甚至皇家海军舰艇上的生活,一路带你领略朗姆酒的魅力。它既寓教于乐,即使你不是朗姆酒爱好者,也能轻松参观。
细节之处尽显匠心——尤其是杰斐逊公司原有的办公室,仿佛真的穿越回了过去。工作人员热情友好、知识渊博、充满活力,营造出温馨宜人的氛围。我们在这里度过了一个小时,一边参观学习,一边与工作人员交流。
这里不仅仅是一个博物馆,更是一个故事,一次难忘的体验,也是坎布里亚郡珍贵历史遗产的一部分。这真是一处值得探寻的隐藏宝地,尤其是在雨天或前往怀特黑文的途中。
