Why Red Anchor Distillery ?
We do NOT have:
- a century of history with generations behind us
- an estate where we grow sugarcane and grains
- decades of experience (we started in 2024)
- hundreds of barrels that are aging our spirits
- a production of 100,000 liters per year
- a large distillery that takes hours to see
So why bother…. ?
We are the only Aruban distillery that offers a full range of locally handcrafted premium spirits;
Vodka, Rum, Gin and Whisky
Locally handcrafted means that the fermentation, distillation, filtration (polishing), flavoring (profiling), aging and bottling is passionately carried out in small batches in our craft shop.
Aruba’s pristine water quality is crucial in this process.
And it is all there ready for you to see….
Just walk in to see what we do and how we do it.
It is not difficult to make alcohol,
to make a premium drink however, that is a whole different story.
We are happy to share that story with you.
During your visit we explain:
- what a craft distillery is compared to a commercial distillery
- how we as a craft distillery can achieve our exceptional quality
- our distilling process, how craft & science go hand-in-hand
- why and how we use coconuts for filtration (polishing)
- the importance of the 3 t’s (time, temperature and throughput)
- the heads, hearts and tails of distilling
- how flavoring (profiling) and aging works in a craft distillery
- how to avoid a hangover (now we have your interest !!!)
- any question you may have
