Great tour for couples

Really enjoy this tour. I'm not much of a drinker as my tolerance for alcohol is super low. My partner is the drinker and I loved the tour and alcohol. He is planning a trip here for him and his friends.

Beautiful & interesting! Rum isn’t bad either!!

We went on an adults excursion…we come from bourbon country in KY & have visited MANY distilleries. This was a great experience. Beautiful, quaint visit that starts with a few drinks to start. Then you get to walk the small grounds & learn about the process. Definitely worth a visit! Tiffany was a great host/guide.
