Your experience begins at 3 Queens Distillery, a beautifully restored former slaves’ quarters turned intimate, small-batch rum (and other spirits) distillery in the heart of Charlotte Amalie.
Your guide will weave together the captivating story of rum—how it helped shape the economy, culture, and identity of the Caribbean. You’ll hear tales of pirates, planters, and revolutionaries, all with rum at the center of the narrative.
