Musée du Rhum
A museum inside the Reimonenq family distillery in Saint-Rose. It displays the history of rum-making, old ship models and insect specimens, and offers free tastings.
The Musée du Rhum is at the Reimonenq distillery in Saint-Rose, in the north of Basse-Terre. Its exhibits tell the story of 300 years of sugarcane cultivation, sugar production and rum distillation. Old stills and tools are on display, along with an unexpected collection of sailing ship models and butterfly and insect specimens. After your visit you can taste several agricultural rums and fruit punches and buy bottles. Admission costs a few euros, and the museum is closed on Sundays (check the official website). It is about a 20-minute drive from Deshaies.
