What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors rave about the unique experience of tasting cactus liqueur and other spirits at Cadushy Distillery. The free entry, friendly staff, and informative tours are consistently praised, making it a highly recommended stop in Rincon. Some wish for more transparency regarding rum aging, but overall, the quality and uniqueness of the products shine through.
"Learn about how they harvest and make liquor from the local cactus and get a taste of the various products they make. Some very unique flavors that we have decided are needed in our collection. Of course it's all for sale, our challenge was deciding on which ones we wanted the most to take back home."
Matthew Gass
"Was doing a side-by-side island tour with my dad and we came across signs for the Cadushy Distillery. I make homemade vanilla extract and love doing distillery tours to find my next alcohol! Entrance was free and everyone that worked there was amazing! We tried different liqueurs, rum, whiskey, gin, vodka, and tequila. I bought a bottle of the spiced rum and the Cadushy and Gold Liqueurs to take home. Thanks for a great time and being so welcome!"
Alyssa Watkins
"Love this place. The red liquor (kukui) goes great with a cola to make an adult cherry coke. The limited edition rum is one of the best sipping rums in my collection. They are a bit secretive on ingredients and aging locations - which seems a bit deceptive and makes me think most of the rum is not aged on the island - but I don't really care. Good rum is good rum no matter where it's from. Just wish they'd be a bit more up front about it."
