    I meet some friends on a rainy Saturday afternoon for the tour and tasting. Was quite surprised to have some excellent rum. Not a big fan of the silver rum (1st tasting) but everything after was completely amazing. The basil was my favorite and the Queen Reserve. Very impressed with the coconut and spiced. If you are looking for a great rum for eggnog, their spiced would fit the bill and then some. Keep your shot glass! Owner gave the tour which was great hearing the history. See more..

    Broadslab Distillery image
    Went on The distillery tour with some motorcycle rider friends of mine.the tour was very well organized there was a short film that we watched about The distillery and it answered a lot of questions before the tour began. The person giving the tour was the owner. The tasting afterwards lets you taste all of the available spirits they make there. There's a full service bar there as well and gift shop. We really enjoyed our time there, the bartender was very friendly and knowledgeable. The day we went there they also had a hot dog and sausage Bender outside for food which was fantastic as well I wish I knew the name of that business. But a great time was had by all of us. And I would definitely recommend this and will be coming back. See more..

    Stayed overnight via Harvest Hosts, in our self contained camper , and stopped by the bar for a taste. The Jamarican reserve rum was fabulous! Rich, tasty, smooth! The place is super clean! The outside tent gives plenty of space to accommodate proper distance and enjoy the sunset with a tasty drink. The bar is beautifully set up with modern and rustic touches, truly a great place.
