John Watling's Distillery
A rum distillery set within the 18th-century Buena Vista Estate, offering free tours of the rum-making process and cocktails at the bar.
John Watling's Distillery is located on the Buena Vista Estate, built in 1789, and is named after the 17th-century pirate John Watling. Visitors can tour the bottling and ageing of small-batch rum for free. On the terrace bar of the old plantation house, you can order a signature rum punch or a pineapple rum cocktail. The colonial buildings and gardens of the estate are also great for photos. It is about a 10-minute walk from downtown, making it a good stop for cruise passengers with limited time.
