Great Experience at Hemingway Rum Co.
We did the “ Hemingway Chronicles” tour and tasting. Our tour guide, Nikki “Indiana” Hayes was awesome, so knowledgeable, friendly, and fun. First we had an informative tour that covered the origin and history of the distillery, the process of making rum, and the differences in the various types of rum they make, followed by a tasting of all the rums. Then we enjoyed rum punch and daiquiri cocktails while Nikki read to us selections from Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea. So cool! They also offer other types of tours, cocktail making classes, etc. They also have an excellent gift shop where they sell rum at a competitive price, along with lots of other branded apparel, cocktail / bar accessories, and books by and about Hemingway. If you like rum, or have an interest in distilling processes or in Ernest Hemingway, this is a place you should not miss. If you want to do a tour, book it in advance if possible … when we first inquired they were almost fully booked 2 or 3 days out.

Come for the Fun and a Taste of Rum
Quite honestly, we arrived later in the afternoon on a rainy day when they were getting ready to close for a private event. However, Hurricane (remember, Papa Hemingway was all about nicknames) was at the bar and gave us VIP attention in the less than 10 minutes she had to spare. She turned us over to Andie and Rick who completed our quick education. We did take home a bottle of rum and will be back when we can take advantage of a full tour and tasting.
