More than 200 years of history.
The distillery occupies an old Danish colonial-era slave house in Charlotte Amalie. Enslaved people lived on this property, and our history of the building includes the tradition of people here fermenting and distilling their own rum and bush liquor long before the modern craft-distilling movement.
Today we are restoring and using the property as a working distillery, museum and garden while keeping that earlier history visible throughout the visitor experience.
