As a rum nerd I was left slightly wanting on a deeper dive of the process. Would have loved to see a small batch of mash to show the fermentation process or a finished batch to see/smell the difference after fermentation was complete. Next time I'll have to grab the distiller and ask more questions. Was awesome seeing the barrel room. Obviously the tasting was great and I came home with a bottle of the distillery exclusive tubrinado sugar rum. Looking forward to a daiquiri at home. Also grabbed some of their house made tropical bitters for some tiki cocktails!!

We recently discovered this cute liquor shop.

It is located in the Jerry's shopping center. There is not a lot of shops in this center but we always like to check out what they do have here. We stopped inside to see if they had anything local. The lady inside was so sweet, we ended up chatting with her for quite some time. She also offered us samples she had at the counter. Of course, we had to take some samples! This is just your typical liquor shop. They have beer, wine, ciders, and then lots of liquor. We did ask if there was anything local and they had a couple of things that were made in Florida but nothing super local. Most of the items they had were drinks that we knew of. They did have a few things that were made in Ft Myers, which is pretty close. My sister ended up buying a liquor she has wanted to try and was made in Florida so that made her happy. Overall this is a great stop. If you are wanting to grab some beer for beach or wine for your room, this is a great stop. They have a few items already chilled in the coolers. I would definitely say stop in here, even if you just want a sample!

There are not a ton of places on Captiva and Sanibel Island where you can get beer, wine and liquor so this is a great place if you are looking for that. The shopping center no longer has a lot of shops, but we like to look around in what is still standing. We actually went inside to see if they had anything local. The employee inside was a very fun and sweet lady. We actually ended up chatting with her for quite some time. The best part was she offered us samples she had at the counter, like numerous samples. Of course, we had to partake! My wife and sister in law actually had to stop, she was offering so many. This is just a typical liquor shop. They have beer, wine, ciders, and then lots of liquor as well as lottery tickets. We asked if there was anything local, which they did have a small display of things that were made in Florida but nothing local to the island, which makes sense. But they did have items that were made in Ft Myers, which is pretty close. My sister in law ended up buying a liquor she has wanted to try and was made in Florida so that made her happy. My wife and I bought one of the items she sampled to us, it was a key lime rum that was also made in Florida. Overall nothing negative to say, this is a good shop. If you are looking to grab some beer for the beach or wine for your room, this is a great stop. They have a few items already chilled in the coolers. I would definitely say stop in here, even if you just want a sample! Aces!

The two brothers who run the place are very passionate about the product and the process that it takes to make it. Even if you have been to a rum tour before, this operation is small enough to make it a very intimate experience and learn something new. Both brothers know their stuff and teach about it from a unique perspective - small business owners within a small operation. The taste of the rum speaks for their quality and hard work. Their spiced rum is what a spiced rum is supposed to taste like. Their rum makes Captain Morgan taste like artificial hand soap. Very good quality and decent prices per bottle. You can't find many places that offer a free tour and tasting anymore, so if you are in the neighborhood, check them out!
