The Callwood Rum Distillery is the oldest still in operation in the eastern Caribbean — by some counts the oldest in the western hemisphere. A small stone-built rum house at the eastern end of Cane Garden Bay, it has been producing rum from sugar cane grown on the surrounding hills since the early 18th century. The Callwood family still runs it.
Visits are informal: someone from the family shows you the copper pot still, the oak ageing barrels, and the cane crusher in five or ten minutes, and then offers a generous tasting at the end. Bottles are sold from a small counter. The unaged white rum is potent and grassy; the aged versions are softer and worth carrying home. Modest entry fee.
