We had a great time visiting and learning so much about the distilling process!! Truly a one-on-one intimate experience! #Roulaison received top honors at the American Distilling Institute's Annual Judging of Craft Spirits, the largest and most respected evaluation of craft spirits in the country. Their Traditional Pot Distilled #Rum was awarded "Best of Class" among all rum entries, the highest honor any spirit can receive at the judging, as well as "Best of Category" among unaged rums, earning a gold medal in the same category. #whereistinanow #nola2025 #noladistillery read more

Very informative tour and the rum is amazing. I didn't check my bag so I purchased little bottles. Loved the overproof rum and want to try it with rum punch. read more

What an interesting, informative and delicious experience. Andrew was beyond helpful not only about their wonderful rum and liqueurs but also about his favorite spots in NOLA!! We had a delicious flight! Couldn't have asked for more on our visit. Check it out! read more

What an awesome experience! Looking for things to do while we were in New Orleans, my husband came across this rum tasting. We both love rum, so this was a no brainer for us. Andrew, the co-owner and head distiller, was our host for our tasting. The tasting is intimate and private, so worries about social distancing or being over crowded. We had the opportunity to try 5 different rums; 2 white, 2 dark, and 1 liquor. With every taste Andrew graciously gave us a full background on the particular rum at the time. He continued to answer any and all questions that we had on the process of aging the rum and how each one was different. Please note that you will see the address on S. Broad Street, however, the building is behind the one on the street. You can get to their parking lot once you turn right on Washington and then make an immediate right. After the tasting, you are able to purchase any product that they have. With the tasting, you will receive a $5 discount on the bottle of rum. Please note, they can't ship to your home address, however, they can ship to a retail partner and pick it up there. We loved the experience and would surely return. read more

Took my daughter here for a tour cause she loves rum and was not disappointed. Super interesting to learn about the processes of making rum and then you get to try yummy rum. Tour guide was so nice! Love this place! read more

Just the most disappointing info on Yelp! They weren't open after we made the trip all the way down from the French Quarters! Google said they are open today. Yelp said they are open today. So did the New Orleans page! And you can't see the board from any side of the two streets that intersect, you'd think you're on a corner that goes no where. But it's hidden in an alley. Because it said 3pm, we stood there for all of 4 mins waiting for it to open. When it didn't, I called to ask and that's when disappointment struck! I told the gentleman that I was here all the way from NYC, I asked if they could do me a favor but sadly, they're closed for the week. This makes me think about their business practices: visibility - they should probably let Yelp know, they should probably let NewOrleans know, and they should probably let Google now! So we hailed a cab and we went back. read more

Great cozy distillery with a variety of white and dark rum to sample. Andrew is quite knowledgeable and explained the process of distilling rum to my husband and I. We tried some premium single-barrel rum. All of the rum is quite smooth. Although there's not a fancy showroom, it's a fun pitstop to taste some rum and learn for a few things. Definitely worth checking out! When you get there, check-in and you'll get a freebie sticker. read more

Pandemic review I saw on an insta post that Roulaison was offering a chocolate rum liqueur and I had to have it! Ordering was easy-peasy online, including options for pay it forward pricing for hand sanitizer that they will donate to a local medical organization. Pick up was also very simple. I was emailed a time and stopped in and picked up at the door. We were both masked and it was seamless. And the liqueur was delish too! read more

I was lucky enough to go on a private tour on a Saturday afternoon with a few friends. Co-owner Andrew was our guide and he did a fantastic job telling us all about the rum making process and explained everything in an easy-to-understand manner. Roulaison is a small and new rum distilling company and, I'll be honest, I know nothing about liquor production. Everything here is handcrafted and it's all local. All of this was pretty new to me, but I found the tour very interesting and Andrew was extremely nice and was happy to answer questions. After the tour came the tasting and I'm not a liquor drinker, so this got real interesting. I can usually handle liquor if it's mixed with something, so I was thankful for the teeniest little thimble full of samples that we had to try. Some of the rum burned, but that's probably because I "can't hang". By the third taste I had to reach for water- I'm such a lightweight. I did, however, really enjoy the rum liqueur that was offered, mainly because it had some sweetness to it. You can actually have them mix you up a cocktail, if that's your thing. I highly recommend the tour, especially if you like learning about new things and how things are made. read more

I really liked this place, its not big but the people are friendly. We stumbled upon this place after we left a brewery. We did the tasting and ended up buying a bottle. The rum is good and they offer several variations of it. I would recommend as a stop when you are out and about. read more

Roulaison Distilling - Great rum - Distilleries Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Showed up randomly and had a wonderful tasting room experience. The owner easily Cid have told me to come back, as there was a formal tasting going on. But he didn't and welcomed me to join on the side. Everything tasty. And super friendly staff. I will definitely be on the lookout for their spirits. If it's a rainy day and your not sure what to do definitely go! read more

I've been a customer of Roulaison since they opened. I super support local businesses as much and as often as possible, especially when they're providing something extraordinary. Roulaison definitely fits the bill! Local in all possible ways from materials to production to operations they get everything from and do everything right here in Southern Louisiana. Their products are high quality, and of course, delicious. Brings rum to a new level! I'm currently in love with their monthly Juice Box. Each month they offer an opportunity to purchase a box that includes a bottle of their rum along with recipes and ingredients from other local businesses to make delicious cocktails. Love, love, love this! I've made so many tasty, different cocktails and I highly recommend this box as a great deal for everything included. The boxes have to be picked up curbside, but there's a free parking lot as well as sometimes free street parking on Broad next to other great local businesses you should try. While they aren't doing tours due to pandemic restrictions, hopefully they'll be back to their usual tours and other events by next year. read more

Roulaison Distilling - So excited to pick up the August box Sins of the Panhandle!! - Distilleries Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

This is a COVID-19 review. I love being able to get local rum from a super cute distillery. You can easily park on the street but they also have a small parking lot that they share with other stores! A while ago I bought a delicious single pot bottle of rum and I am almost out. After perusing their Instagram to see if they would recreate this rum, I saw that they are doing a cocktail subscription kit this summer (FYI this is the summer of covid-19 for those that are reading this in the future when life is back to normal). For less than $50 you get a bottle of rum, some mixers and a recipe to enjoy all month long! Now, can I drink a whole bottle of rum in a month? Probably. At this point in my life (again covid) I'm not going to bars and restaurants (super sad face). Will be back to describe pickup and how delicious the cocktail is! read more

For four dollars on Certain days you can do a tasting of three rums manufactured at this distillery. Itsreally awesome in a sense that you get a mini lecture about the alcohol concentration and how the Rum was prepared. I must say that these are some of the most smoothest rums i have ever tried. I enjoyed my lecture and yes theres parking. Thank you guys for a short but yet, meaningful introduction on the different Rums read more

Made plans and stopped in after seeing an advert for their Second Anniversary celebration. Had a nice tour of the facility and then an interesting rum tasting afterwards. Quite informative, learned a lot more about the fine details of single barrel rums. Nice that they had a couple of food vendors for after the tasting. Currently enjoying a single barrel rum in their courtyard read more

Looking for something different to do in New Orleans. This is a small rum distillery run by two young guys - Andrew & Patrick. The tour is very interesting and informative about distilling and about the history of Rum & Sugar in New Orleans. This is the 2nd smallest distillery in the state, but these guys are producing some pretty flavorful rims! They offer a tour with tasting for $10 per person. They also have just the tasting. You can purchase bottles there ranging from $40 to $90. They also produce a couple true rum liquors that are delicious. read more

I got to experience Roulaison though a Yelp Elite event and it was nothing short of amazing. Patrick and Andrew (owners) have an enthusiastic spirit that's obviously poured into their craft. Roulaison is a small yet super cool rum distillery that sits between a Cidery and Chocolatier and just moments from Xavier University and Carrollton Ave. Rum has such a cool history and to see the distilling process was simply fascinating. Roulaison offers a variety of rum at different proofs and "flavors" which we were able to sample. Definitely stop by for a tour if you're in town or if you're local, it's truly a cool experience! read more

So I love love Roulaison! I have had the great opportunity to try their rums in cider and cocktails! It is phenomenal and truly delicious! I recently visited the location and there was $4 tasting! Can you believe it! The owners broke down their distilling process and discussed each of the 4 rum selections for us. Every selection was smooth and perfection. You pretty much can taste the herbs and I just love them for that! Check it out for a short tasting. There is street and lot parking! read more

I bought a Groupon for a distillery tour for 4. Andrew & Patrick were so helpful in scheduling the tour, and Andrew gave the most informative and interesting distillery tour I've ever experienced! This distillery approaches rum from a unique perspective of small-batch experimentation, and I can't wait to see what awesome and innovative products come out of this place in the future. The tour was followed by a rum tasting, and their spirits are really complex and delicious. This is a new staple for me to bring out-of-town guests to. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience! Don't forget: if you buy a Groupon or get in at an otherwise discounted rate, you should still tip for the actual cost of the tour ($10/person). read more

This tour is a bargain no matter how you slice it. One of the two owners hosted us on a tour of what they said is the second smallest distillery in the state. With two years of product laid up, and a daily production volume of roughly a dozen gallons of un-aged product these guys are small. That said, when it got to tasting you wouldn't know it. They produce a solid, yet young, line of Rums from clear to a nice spiced caramel colored product. You can buy up to five bottles, but they do not ship anywhere. So if you flew in, visit these guys early in your trip to New Orleans so you can consume what you purchase. read more

Fantastic tour by 1 of the 2 guys who own, operate and run the place. Extremely knowledgeable and a fun tasting. Highly recommend!

The rums they distill are pure and excellent quality. The tasting they have is perfect, and they do so well explaining their process. My best friend thinks the distiller is hot, but my husband says the rum is hotter. Don't miss this hidden gem. read more

Great spot to visit, try some rum and talk to the guys making the stuff. They have just white rum at this point with aged stuff coming in a while. read more

Pricing on trip advisor is very misleading. Paid for 2 adult tours with a bottle thinking I'm paying the full price for both adults to get a bottle but turns out it was only one per tour which is not mentioned anywhere so it felt like a huge waste of money. Would have been cheaper to just pay for the tour for 2 adults on Groupon for $10. Giant waste of money. Owners offered no compromise at all. Tour wasn't bad but there should have been way more clarification about pricing and exclusions. read more

I bought a Groupon for a tour without doing any research about this place and we were pleasantly surprised. Both of the guys seemed very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about the whole process. Of course the rum was great too. Will definitely recommend! read more

My gf and I went here for a date and had the best time. The tour is really informative and we learned different techniques from our guide. We learned really cool information and this was a very comfortable setting. Also, the rum tasting was delicious, but I should have brought some juice because my throat was burning. Lol! My only regret was not buying a bottle for us to drink when we got home. Definitely check them out! read more
