Villains Rum
Flavoured rum shop in York inspired by legendary local villains and gin
Villains Rum is a York-based rum shop inspired by the city's most infamous figures, bringing their darkly delightful tales to life through unique, flavoured rums. Located on Little Stonegate with roots in Shambles Market, our family-run business has served locals and visitors for over six years. Each bottle tells the story of York's notorious characters, from Erik Bloodaxe to Guy Fawkes, inviting our guests to savour history with every sip. With bold flavorus and carefully crafted blends, Villains Rum provides a true taste of York's villainous past.
Beyond our rums, we offer a unique experience for visitors with engaging tours and events that celebrate the city's twisted tales. Our new villainous history and rum-tasting tour invites adventurers to uncover the secrets behind our creations, with exclusive tastings and a chance to meet our mischievous Villains. From limited-edition seasonal flavors like Benedict Creepthorn, a spiced golden rum, to the mystical York Griffin Gin, Villains Rum is committed to making each visit memorable and delightfully wicked. Stay Villainous!
“Even as villains, we are proud to continue our legacy of bringing tasty, Yorkshire-based rum to York. After starting out in York's famous Shambles Market, it only seemed right to carry our dark plans for great rum into the city centre. But don't worry, we will continue to trade at our outpost in Shambles Market every weekend!”
