Really interesting rum tour - This was a great experience and was really interesting to hear and see how rum is made in the heart of New Orleans. The distillery is quite small, and probably the better for that. The tour guide was one of the owners and had fantastic knowledge in the subject and a clear passion for what he is doing. There was sampling of the rums and liquors that they make, and all very very strong (with proper measures !). My particular favourite was the chocolate rum liquor. There is the chance to buy some spirits and other products at a discount at the time, which we did. Due to the distillery being away from the centre of New Orleans, we got an Uber, which worked well.

Delicious and Informative - Perfect add-on to any NOLA trip! My girlfriend and I had some extra time that we wanted to fill during our 5-day trip to NOLA; Roulaison was the perfect way to spend it. After a short bus ride from Canal Street we arrived to the quaintest distillery I've ever seen. We were a little late and the only ones on the tour, but our guide was so kind and informative! We had a great and educational time, particularly as two barely legal college students lol! The Rum was awesome too, not that we know much about good and bad spirits, but the herbal and cacao rums were delicious. I would definitely buy Roulasion Rum if I find them up in NYC.

Very informative - When we arrived we thought the place was empty/closed down, but the business is down the alley in the back. Andrew met us and was a fantastic guide. He is part owner and also is one that runs the operation and his detailed explanation of every aspect of rum making was most informative. He answered all our questions. I definitely recommend this tour, you won’t regret it.

Yum rum - Although a small production distillery, the history and conversation was interesting and intimate. The co-owner ensured all were comfortable and encouraged questions. The tastings were plentiful, informative and fun. The herbal and chocolate rums were the favorites!
