- Old New Orleans Rum Distillery: 2815 Frenchmen St, New Orleans, LA 70122 http://oldneworleansrum.com/ In 1995, when we got our distiller's license, no one else in the Continental US was making rum. Today we produce the highest rated rum in America. Our quality starts at home using only locally-sourced Louisiana sugar cane. We then age in charred American White Oak casks that formerly produced fine bourbons, whiskies and Sherries. Our Master Distiller selects from seven different vintages, some of these early creations pre-date Katrina, and crafts spirits that celebrate over 20 years of joyful distilling. Enjoy a behind-the-scenes look at the rum distillation process at America's oldest premium rum distillery. Our 45 minute distillery tour also includes a welcome cocktail and tasting of our products. Tours available daily.
