Our Story

Harry (Baz) and Fred have lived and breathed hospitality since leaving school. After 15 years in the industry—and plenty of time exploring the world's best rums and tequilas—they set out to create a spirits brand of their own.

Their journey has taken them from spinning pizzas across the country, to being restaurateurs in London and now landlords of two of the most talked about pubs in the Cotswolds - The Stump and The New Inn, opening a deli and now running the family wedding barn business Cripps & Co.

How It Happened

Great spirits start with great partnerships. Baz and Fred teamed up with the master distillers at Hawkridge Distillery to create a rum that would earn its place behind any bar.

Together they crafted Ram's Skull Rum — a bold blend of aged rums from Venezuela, Trinidad and the Dominican Republic. Its success led to a spiced rum, a white rum, and a shared ambition to create something even bigger.

That ambition took them to Mexico, where they worked alongside expert tequila makers to source exceptional agave and create a tequila worthy of the Ram's Skull name. The result is a collection of premium spirits built on craftsmanship, collaboration, and a passion for doing things properly.
