When you're in Nassau, you’ve got to swing by John Watling's Distillery, famously known as the "Spirit of The Bahamas." This spot is rich in history and charm, located at the historic Buena Vista Estate, which has been around since 1789. It’s right in Downtown Nassau, overlooking the harbor—such a picturesque setting!

The distillery offers complimentary tours, and they’re such a treat. You get to learn all about the hand-crafted, small-batch rum-making process. The estate itself feels like a little museum, full of history and interesting exhibits. The best part? At the on-site tavern, you can sip on some signature Bahamian cocktails. Just remember, you need to be at least 18 for the rum tastings.
