Stop by the distillery with my family driving between Lake Charles and. Aton Rouge. It's off the freeway, but with construction it takes a bit of effort to reach. Plenty of parking and great, new facility. We missed the tour, buy I think it was $10 and includes tasting. We paid $5 for the tasting and at 10am we were the only ones at the distillery. We got to try all 7 rums. They are made on site and almost all their flavorings are local, e.g. Satsuma grown locally. The rums aren't super sweet like Bacardi and had some depth. I enjoyed their spiced rum, think less sweet Captain Morgan's. We bought a couple of bottles, about $18 each. The staff was really friendly and nice. They double-bubble wrapped our bottles for easy shipping in luggage. The bottles came in super cute bags that can double as gift bags. Nice bathrooms. They also bottle and sell a whiskey for another distillery. I think it was Kentucky Owl. read more

The distillery was wonderful but the tour needs help. The guide spoke too fast and did not allow the time needed for the two individuals in the group with a walking disability. Also she sped through the tasting at the end. More time was needed between items to ask questions and enjoy the different tastes of the rums. We tried to purchase a couple of bottles but the 3 girls ignored us so we walked away and purchased the rum cheaper elsewhere. read more

We tried something different this time: flew into Houston, TX, and on day two, decided to drive across the great state of Louisiana, stopping at rum distilleries along the way. Our first stop was about 2.5 hours from Texas City, TX, where we were staying, in the town of Lacassine, LA. We arrived just in time to catch a tour wrapping up, which allowed us to sign up for a tasting. We recently visited this distillery, and let me tell you, it's an experience unlike any other. When you arrive, it feels like stepping onto a campus dedicated entirely to rum. The setup is impressive, with multiple buildings that make it clear this is a place where rum reigns supreme. As we entered the main building, it literally took our breath away--everything about it was stunning, from the design to the atmosphere. I inquired about a tasting, and the staff mentioned that a tour was just wrapping up and we could join in for a tasting session. For $10 per person, we got to sample the selections they provided, which was a great way to dive into their craft. It's worth noting that this isn't your typical distillery with a bar or cocktail lounge setup. The focus here is on bottle sales and sampling the rum itself, making it ideal for those who truly want to savor the flavors and learn about the process. If you're looking for a place to grab a drink and hang out, this might not be the spot, but if you're a rum enthusiast, it's an absolute must-visit! We sampled seven different rums, starting with the Bayou White, which had a tequila-like taste with notes of vanilla and green apple on the nose. The Spiced Rum wasn't your typical spiced rum--it had a cinnamon aroma, with flavors of maple, banana, and vanilla, making it taste amazing. The Reserve offered hints of vanilla, apple, and cinnamon, with a finish of fruit and barrel-aged warmth. The Pink was on the sweeter side, and lastly, my favorite, the Mardi Gras, aged for five years, had a floral nose with cedar wood, stone fruit, plum, sandalwood, and dried dark fruit. Its finish was honeyed and peppery--a fantastic rum experience! read more

Great service and informative tour. Lots of different rums to try. Good stop in between Lake Charles and Lafayette

Made a stop coming Lake Charles. The place is absolutely amazing . I had a chance to taste some of the different RUMS my favorite was the tigator rum. read more

Stopped here on our way to Lafayette and glad we did. Easy / quick little history lesson on sugar cane farming and rum making in Louisiana, and a quick little factory tour by friendly and knowledgeable staff. I liked learning about the barrel aging process and in the end we got to taste the various varieties and flavored rums. We also got to try the rare aged varieties. The next door conference / event hall is massive and beautiful. Worth a look if passing through. read more

Was a fun experience will do it again did rum tasting seen how they made the rum and different flavors of rum

I stopped by just to have a look see and I was compelled to go on a tour. I had kaelyn as my tour guide and she was the best. Answered my questions before I could even ask them and she was gorgeous. I will definitely be coming back. read more

Went to wedding there. Their event venue was very nice! Would like to go back for a tour of the distillery!!

Great tour by Tanner! Short with a movie, but he was willing to answer any questions. He knew quite a bit about the property and how the rum is made. Great tasting was included as well as a great store! read more

Nice free tour. It's quick but the tasting at the end lets you know what's worth buying at the end.

I had never tried this rum previously and only made this stop because of rave reviews by the local Harley Davidson dealership. Im not really a rum fan - more of a JD girl. Im so glad we stopped in! We took the tour snd our guide was informative with a dry witty humor I can appreciate! We got to taste several flavors and I left there with a bottle of Pink, satsuma orange and coffee flavors. This time is yummmmy! I have a new go-to for rum and some great new drink ideas. And get, I cannot wait to get home and use the coffee rum in brownie mix!!! Super friendly staff snd a building I want to duplicate to create a home!! Stopped in, say Michelle sent you!! read more

At 6'7" I've never felt more invisible. I watched the bartender engage with all the patrons begging for their free sample. All the sudden becoming rum experts! The bar served everyone. Even some twice. The I asked her if I was invisible. With a dumbfounded look on her face she said no. What would I like to try. I told her whatever you have been poring everyone else the past 10 min. She got another a sample. Then just plucked mine down. Walked away. Didn't say a word! Out of spite I will NEVER buy this product! I will never get a drink with it! I will also tell everyone I meet this was truly crap rum! Because the sample I had? NO GOOD!!! read more

Great place to sample awesome rum Friendly staff and great merchandise Love the coffee rum read more

Stopped by to visit and do a tour of the distillery and was never greeted or acknowledged, this was on a Wednesday afternoon with 2 young caucasian ladies working. The workers did all they could to avoid my wife and I even after we intentionally said hello to one of them. I don't know if any other black folks have experienced this type of treatment but I won't be supporting this business ever again! Please do better, it's 2024! read more

We were on our way to New Orleans and stopped at Bayou Rum Distillery for a tour. John was an awesome host. Very informative tour, very interesting as well. He poured some shots of each rum for us to try. He provided many suggestions about different mixers for each variety of rum. We loved it so much, we bought 6 bottles! Will stop by again next time I am in the area. read more

Saw some products that aren't sold in DFW. Bought rum and a cool T shirt. Staff was friendly and greeted us upon entering.

Had the best time at this distillery. Our tour guide as informative and absolutely hilarious. The sampling was out of this world and not stingy what so ever. There was a cool introductory video to begin with. Then the tour was aesthetically pleasing. The barrels and distillery process was fascinating. I'm super happy that a local recommended us to see this. I left with a four pack of different liquors for only $91. Happy I stopped by and tried this wonderful gem. read more

Cool place. Nice staff. Cool merch. Worth a stop if you're passin by. Good rum. Nice facility

Fun little distillery, well, I guess I can't say it was little. They offer free tours and tastings daily. But the tours are every hour on the hour. We showed up 10 after, and were told we had to wait for the next tour. Since we were traveling back to Texas, we were unable to wait, but they did let us watch the video that kicks off the tour and continue with the tasting. There are 4 different runs, you get 2 tastings per person, but if you're with "someone your trust," you can try all 4. You get a sample of their specialty drink and they also sample their rum cake too. Satsuma rum was hands down the best, so tasty, juicy and refreshing. If you buy rum, they bag it in crawfish bags, it's so cute! And lots of novelty items in the gift shop: clothing, gifts, liquor, koozies, bar items, baby ware, books, houseware, you name it, they most likely have it. read more

Cane was a great bartender! Tasting the basic five the Mardi Gras and rye barrel finished rims require an $8 fee, worth it for one of our party, but not the other. They have a nice tour and truly a lovely place here...out in the middle of nowhere! Very much worth the stop off the road for some nice tasting for certain. A wonderful distillery for certain! A must stop along I-10 in Louisiana for sure!!! read more

This is a really neat place, and they have some spectacular rums. We did the tasting and tried six of their blends the gatorbite and the spiced are stand outs. We also bought a rum cake, and it was the best one I have ever had. The people are very nice too, and I wanted to buy everything in their store. read more

Love the great location and the great tastes of ALL the rums here. It's a really nice place that looks non-descript from the road. They provide short distillery tours, samples, and lots of unique gift items from the distillery and Louisiana overall, so if you need to take a traveling friend or a local this is a simple fun stop that will get you in the "spirit" of fun [pun intended]. We always enjoy stopping in on the way to New Orleans to pick up our road supplies of rum straight from the distillery. read more

Bayou Rum what a great stop in Louisiana just a 12 miles drive from Lake Charles. First off our tour guide female (sorry forgot her name ) was amazing she was very enjoying and energetic thank you. After our free tour we did a tasting of their rum product and for $8 more you can get and extra tasting of their prized rum which is the Xo and reserved product. Omg out of those two extra shots I got a little baked so we walked over to cafe bayou also owed by bayou rum and had chocolate rum cake and iced coffee. A definitely must go to while in south Louisiana. Will comeback. They have private tours and an event center if your having a wedding or party. read more

Great tour, FREE, great gift shop, and pretty good Rum! I love the Satsuma! Stopped in for the last tour of the day, very interesting and super informative tour guide. I went on a Sunday, and they said it was really slow all day, no sure why they are open on Sundays, but it worked out. This place would be a great location for a big outdoor festival or antique car show. Definitely worth checking out! read more

Great rums, friendly staff, and fun tour. They have coffee and frozen drink machine. There are (8) rums, souvenirs, and RUM CAKE! Its right off of I-10, so its a great stop, whenever you're in the area read more

This was a super easy 20 minute drive from where we were staying in Lake Charles and it was 100% worth it. Our tour guide John, was friendly, funny and informative. We watched a shirt video then he showed up the bottling room and the distillery, where the whole process happens. Then some rum tasting! I want to go back and check out the coffee shop next time. read more

Would be great if you would actually post your holiday hours on your website, Instagram, or Facebook. Before people spend an inordinate amount of time to drive to the distillery on a Tuesday (which is stated as being open) just for it to be closed. It's bad business practice. read more

Stopped by passing through one afternoon. The tour guide was awesome! Funny guy welcomed us to take the tour even though we just walked in. He was very witty and kept the group entertained the whole time. Then a tasting of all of their rums afterwards and for free!?! We ended up leaving with a bottle of the tricentennial rum, and can't wait to crack it open. Then we'll fill the empty bottle with tea! Thanks again for a great time, we'll stop by again for sure, next time early enough for the movie! read more

Visiting from out of town. The building, facility and tour were all outstanding. The air was ripe with a molasses smell. The samples were outstanding as was the store at the end of the tour. The host and owner was very informative. We purchased coffee infused rum think after dinner drink, it was outstanding. read more

Totally enjoyed this place, from the tour to the tasting. Well worth the stop and we bought some really good rum.

Stopped in here while on a motorcycle tour in Louisiana. What a first class operation. The friendly tour guide did a great job of detailing day to day operations of the distillery. Visited the bar for tastes and gladly purchased some rum. The architecture of this structure is impressive as the interior beams are all solid cypress cut and milled locally. Don't miss this if you are in the area! read more
