“We took this tour/tasting in June 2026. I'm going to suggest you get over there ASAP. They have a lot planned for future tours and a museum, but for right now, it's a very unique experience.”

How Aging Changes Rum: 1, 3, 5, and 8 Years in the Barrel

Rum vs Bourbon: What's Actually Different

Both are brown, barrel-aged, and drunk from the same glass — but rum and bourbon are built from different raw materials under very different rules. A clear-eyed comparison from a distillery that makes one of them.

Questions, answered

Planning a visit?

What is the best distillery tour in Miami?

Little River Distillery runs Miami's only working rum distillery tour — stills, barrel warehouse, and a guided tasting with our Rum Master, in the heart of Little River.

Where can I do a rum tasting in Miami?

At Little River Distillery's tasting room. Check the current opening hours before visiting; every flight is drawn from barrels aging in the same building.

Is this a good date night idea in Miami?

It's a candlelit tasting in a speakeasy built like an 18th-century apothecary — one of the more unusual date nights in Miami. Stay for cocktails after.

Is Little River Distillery suitable for corporate events?

Yes — the whole house hosts corporate tastings, team building, and launches, with guided experiences built around your group.

Can I host a birthday party at Little River Distillery?

Yes. Birthdays, bachelor and bachelorette parties, and celebrations get the speakeasy, the barrels, and the bar.

What are fun indoor activities in Miami?

A distillery tour followed by cocktails at the Speakeasy Bar covers an evening indoors, rain or shine. Check current opening hours before visiting.
