Barbancourt Rum Distillery

Port-au-Prince & Around


North of the airport and tucked among sugarcane fields, this famous rum distillery welcomes visitors occasionally and seemingly at random – don't make the trip out here without calling first. If you get in, an enlightening tour highlights the history of rum in the region and includes an explanation of the aging and distillation processes. The company's beloved Estate Reserve rum, aged 15 years, is on-hand for sampling and purchase.
