Rumlocker Experience | AnnaBay Club

Able to try multiple Anna Bay rums including flavored rums. Friendly woman running the counter sharing insight into the products.

A unique rum experience from a dedicated team of purveyors of the art of rum. It is a must you attend this history class explaining the history of sugar cane and how it was transported to the Caribbean. The rum itself is deliciously smooth with deep history of the barrels the rum is stored in. This is related to traditional rum making technique. As for the cocktails, there are many other flavours to contend with if you are up to the challenge. This is a must do experience even if you are not a lover of rum allow yourself to be taken on a journey.

We booked a tasting during our stay in Willemstat and it was brilliant! Christian, one of the co-founders of AnnaBay Club Rum, told us about the history of rum, AnnaBay Club and the distillation process at their beautiful shop in Punda. But, when you get a tour like we did, from someone who has such an obvious passion for what he is doing, it really makes for a special time. Christian’s knowledge was both extensive and impressive and he made the experience special. This wasn’t just a rum tasting, it was a history lesson too. The best part was the tasting - we sampled a variety of rums including the amber, the 5 year aged, rum straight from the barrel in the shop and a great variety of flavoured rums including coconut, passion fruit, tamarind, lemon and mango. There were rums for everyone’s tastes, and literally all of them were delicious! AnnaBay also offers free tastings so you can walk in during opening hours for a free sample. A special thanks to Christian for making the whole experience so educational and enjoyable.

We had such a great experience! We learned so much and got to taste so many different rums. It’s clear that Annabay Club Rum has been a labor of love and excitement for the process of creating something special. We look forward to going back again and will enjoy the bottles we took home!

This (relatively) new rum distillery in the heart of Willemstad is a fun and tasty experience. They offer rum tastings with descriptions of the making of the various rums. It was amazing to compare rums aged in different barrels for different periods of time. They also offered tastings of their flavored rums: I particularly liked the passion fruit, which I’ve never seen offered by any other rum distilleries. I highly recommend this, both for the tastings and for the quality of the product.
