This is a fun place to stop and get to know all about the local rum. Rose was our "rum guide" and was so knowledgeable about the entire distillery process. We decided to try the rum flight which comes with 5 different rums and two pre-made drinks. The place is in a building from the late 1800's and the distillery is open for viewing. All of the rums and some fun swag are available for purchase. Def recommend! read more

Wonderful place! My husband and I split a rum tasting $25. Our server was extremely knowledgeable about the product and how it's made. Offered suggestions on how to use it in mixing drinks. The building is very large and well decorated with an event room upstairs. We were allowed to venture into the distilling area as well. Left with a selection of rums! read more

Stopped in to check it out and had a tasting. The guy was very knowledgeable and the pours were enough to share. The tasting was $25 but you can apply it to the purchase of a bottle. The building is absolutely beautiful. read more

Stopped in their beautiful storefront location in Brunswick, Ga after a delightful lunch at Indigo Coastal Shanty. The distillery & showroom are open for you to see & walk around. We were treated to a tasting and informative talk about the distillery and rum production. Bought two different bottles. Can't wait to make the pineapple coconut cocktail we sampled. read more

I guess the owner was filming something so we couldn't get a tour... so we just did a tasting... and were charged for a tour and tasting. The tasting was fine but a bit disappointed in the experience. I tasted the rum but didn't really get a full experience so i can't speak to atmosphere or anything past that. *call before you book a tour* read more

We did the complimentary tour with Emily. It was very informative and it's always great to check out local Brunswick businesses. The tree employees there do it all. Very personal and special to get their bottles handwritten born on dates. Great tour! If you aren't interested in drinking during a tour and want to save it for a bottle purchase, hop online a book the complimentary tour and check out the place. It's clean and fun! read more

Local rum that drinks like a bourbon. Staff was informative giving background and offering samples as requested. They even provided local restaurant recommendations. The distillery was clean and orderly but not a whole lot going on. I will stop back in when visiting Brunswick. read more

There is a simple beauty of the building when you walk in- nestled in the Historic District in Brunswick. This area seems to becoming revitalized, which is exciting! The distillery offers different tours and we opted for the free one and jumped in to the one that had just started. They offer 5 rums in the tasting that vary so much in flavor. The Virgin Coastal Rum- our guide described this one as a great rum for mixing cocktails. It is unaged, unfiltered and unaltered. 86 proof- this one would work well with anything that called for rum Richland Rum Classic- aged 4-5 years in charred white oak barrels, this had a flavor upgrade from the Virgin. Cask Strength Old Georgia Rum- the Cask Strength Expression is direct from the barrel. This had body, the flavor filled the mouth. This one was one of my favorites. Chateau Elan Port Cask Exchange- this one is a collaboration and I recently discovered port finished Rums and they are amazing! This one and the Cask Strength were the two I would buy in a heartbeat- and this one we did take home. Terrapin Imperial Milk Stout Cask Exchange- this one was John's favorite, another collaboration- There was a little something in the flavor I was on the fence about, but I am not a beer drinker- so it wasn't surprising that I was undecided on this one. It did have a little creamy finish. The distillery itself was impressive. Their copper stills were works of art, they don't have a lot of room for barrels- they had one wall full and that was it. The upstairs tasting room was lovely with great views of the downtown street. Our guide was lovely and attentive and I can't wait to return and see what is new! We also tried a couple of their craft cocktails- packaged to go, a blueberry lemonade (my fav) and a pineapple-coconut cocktail- both were delicious. read more

I expected this to be way lower key being that it's located in Brunswick. No and no. We loved this place on First Friday. Our group and other parties fit nicely in this place. All while social distancing. The actual distillery equipment is centered in the building and two floors make for an awesome view of the process. There's also a large balcony overlooking Newcastle Street and all the festivities. Staff mix drinks like science experiments. Super precise and taste great. Easily 5 stars. Hopefully they stay in town. read more

Richland Distilling Company - Love this chair!! - Distilleries Near Me - Brunswick, Georgia

We enjoyed an informative and tasty visit here and came away with an enhanced knowledge of sugar cane cultivation and the knowledge and effort required to transform it's juice into a spirit! Tours can be reserved and are personally conducted by management. There's a magic in handling this spirit, present in all stages of it's production and maturation that we just don't know or think about! The tour takes about a half hour with tasting. The tasting won't burden you, and only give you enough of a sample to demonstrate tastes. The big surprise is that of rum-barrel aged coffee, when you can find them!! A very worthwhile stop for adults. read more

Extremely expensive for what you get. We saw a sign on the interstate and decided to give it a try. When we walked in to the small shop, we were told, tours are every hour and tastings every 30 min. A tasting was just starting so we jumped in. The man behind the counter explained how they make the rum and use their own sugar cane. Rum is one of those subjective alcohols and I didn't care for any of their rums. They were too new, bitter and bold. The reason for three stars is the amount you get. You will get about a teaspoon of 5 different rums and a splash of their pineapple/coconut speciality mixed drink ( which is delicious) and we should have each gotten a glass for the $25 tasting fee. Keep this in mind folks. 5 teaspoons and a splash for $25. Really not worth it. read more

Great distillery! The quality and standards they follow to make sure you are getting the best rum quality is very impressive! If you are a whiskey or bourbon drinker they several great options! Their white rum is so delicious and is great alone or as a mixer. Also don't forget to try their Almost Rum syrup. Another great bonus is one of the owners gave us our tasting (tried all their products) and he was so informative and friendly! read more

Great find from a billboard off I95, only about a 6 mile detour off the highway and well worth it. Really gorgeous place in historic downtown Brunswick. Their rum is delicious and unique and it was a very friendly little place. They make their rum from sugar cane grown on their own farm in Georgia, and distill from full sugar cane mash, not just molasses, which gives their rum a unique character. It is pricey, with bottles ranging from $45-95, but it is a quality product and worth the price. You can sample all five for $25. They have the character and drinkability of good bourbons, these aren't simply for tropical mixed drinks. We reeally enjoyed our visit and will surely enjoy the bottles of rum we're taking down to Florida for vacation! read more

Nice, short, but informative free tour. Paid extra for the tasting which was worth it. Very knowledgeable staff. Excellent, high quality product. Delicious rum,(and making Georgia proud!) Definitely worth a trip if you like rum! I was sad to see they don't offer cocktails like I had seen others mention online but husband loved it & got a gift box to take home with us. read more

What a Great job refurbishing this building. The entry is a eye catcher as your view is the distillery in the back with large copper vents and then brick aligns the walls surrounding. They have 2 floors of fun each has its own bar which serves samplings and special cocktails of the day. They had a vendor SOH BBQ this day with some great BBQ to go with your Rum.Everyone was having a great Friday but they needed more servers to match the crowd. Each Rum I sampled was a doer! read more

Went for visit to Brunswick bc got a Groupon for a distillery tour and tasting. We had no idea there is a super cute downtown area with little shops and restaurants! The tour was interesting and informative, the guide should talk louder but he did a good job. The tasting was fun, it was 5 of their rums and one of them is 120 proof!! That one you can feel alllll over your body! Downstairs while waiting on tour they have rum slushees $10 that were very yummy and strong. The tasting is upstairs in bar area and they have cocktails you can buy for $8. Our group tried the mojito and painkiller they were both very good. Def worth the time to drive to Brunswick and take tour. Lots of places around to check out also read more

I enjoyed the tour given by Robbie. I enjoyed learning about the history of how Richland Rum came to be, the distilling process, and different kinds of rum made there. At the end of the tour, we paid for a flight tasting. These rums are pure, delicious, potent, and expensive (rightly so as they are made from sugar cane)! read more

I visited Brunswick's Historic District and stumbled across the distillery. We stepped in and there was a tasting about to start. The dude was well versed in making Rum, but lord have mercy his pours in the tasting was extremely weak. It was not worth the $25 for the tasting. It was like a few drops of visine in each glass. Just weak. The rum was cool I guess, but I felt like I paid $25 to hear a rum brief. He didn't even offer a tour. It was just not my thing. read more

Such a wonderful experience visiting Richland Rum last weekend! Theodore welcomed us and gave us a great behind the scenes tour of the distillery. The rum is REALLY strong and really tasty. We were offered one complimentary sample each and chose to order some cocktails. Once again, this rum is STRONG! One drink and you're good to go. They have a beautiful lounge upstairs with a nice balcony that's perfect for enjoying your cocktail. Overall, such a fun and unique experience that is not to be missed while visiting Brunswick's Historic District. read more

What a great little treat we stumbled upon in Brunswick. We had a wonderful tour by Theodore who was so knowledgeable on all things RUM. Had a free tasting of all the goods and when it came time for cocktails Theodore made sure to pour something strong and smooth! I highly recommend this as a stop to try. The historic district is picking up steam and this is a great place to check out. read more

Been to the Richland location several times and I'm glad the have a second location that is a little easier to get to. Stopped in because the last time in Richland they were actually bottling premade cocktails for sales to go and they were delicious. Had a quick flight because I can't say no to good rum and then grabbed one of their bottled cocktails to go. If you're a fan of spirits even if you don't think you're a rum person Richland will have a version that you'll like. Can not recommend more! read more

Right on the main drag in Brunswick. Great folks and even better atmosphere. Tasted the rum on a mini tour. I'll be going home with a few bottles for sure. This is a must stop if you're in this area. read more

The spirits (flavored liquors) are the highlight here. Great party drinks. The rum isn't exactly rum, it's a sugarcane based alcohol that packs a potent punch. Great for mixers. read more

Stopped in for a tasting. I love the architecture and views into the distillery. I had a flight of 3 rums and the tasting cost $48! I was given perhaps half a shot of each. You'd think they made the rum from diamonds instead of sugar at these prices. If I had been offered a discount on purchasing a bottle or anything more than the tiny sips of rum, it would have rated this place highly. Of the 3 I tried, the 20 year anniversary was quite special. I highly recommend it. I considered returning to buy a bottle tonight, but I've changed my mind after stewing over the poor value of the tasting. read more

Stopped by after seeing the signs on the highway. I did the flight tasting and tour and ended up buying two different rums. Never been much of a rum drinker, but the fact that it's American made, processed and sold made me want to invest. I later brought my husband back and he did the premium flight tasting and the private tour with the distiller. It was a really great experience for us both. read more

Absolutely amazing. Met Theo who between him and the master distiller, Robbie, run the whole thing themselves. Theo was personable and a delight to chat with as he gave us a very excellent tour. We loved the amazing rum so much we bought two bottles with the promise to purchase more. **hot tip! They ship to Florida! Nothing is going to stop our new found addiction for an amazing and naturally produced rum! read more

Fantastic people that distill amazing rum. I was in town for training and on a whim stopped by and am so glad I did. They added me to a tour that had just started and walked us through the distilling process. Tasting was amazing and well structured and thought out. Without question some of my new favorite spirits - even compared to Central American rums like Flor de Caña or Ron Zacapa. Definitely pay them a visit! read more

Valorie did an amazing job describing the choices of rum at our tasting. She was very polite and very helpful! We will definitely be back to purchase some of this awesome rum! read more

What a hidden gem! We did a paid tour that came with a tasting and our tour guide Brenda was incredible sweet. I learned a lot about how rum is made, got to taste the different kinds - which represent the different points in bottling. Amazing experience and we will definitely be back! read more

We had family from Tampa come in town so we went here to kill time before dinner. We did a complimentary 15 minute tour that was super easy to reserve online. Our tour guide (I forgot his name, but he had an awesome mustache) was super friendly and knowledgeable about the distillery. After the tour we had a tasting that was really good. We ended up getting the cask strength, their almost rum, and a few other items. It's super cute place, but it isn't very large so it can get crowded when there are large groups. They could also benefit from having tapas or some small appetizers to enjoy during/after the tasting. read more

The Richland Distillery Tour should be on everyone's list. EVERYTHING is done in house. They grow their own sugar cane in Richland, Ga. and take that product all the way to the bottled rum you can purchase in the shop. No additives. No shortcuts. Everyone was so knowledgeable and nice. The tour was great, the tasting was amazing, and the experience was unforgettable. So glad we did this. What a great, fun thing to do with a group of friends...or alone. No judgement. read more
