Siesta Key Rum Tasting Room Grand Opening

Laws were recently changed in Florida allowing us to have a gift shop where we can sell bottles of our rum directly to distillery visitors! We have been working hard most of the summer getting ready to welcome Siesta Key rum fans into our gift shop/tasting room.

We are finally ready! We will be celebrating the Grand Opening all day Saturday, November 2nd from 10:00 am until 6:00 pm. As part of the grand opening we will have several tours during the day. We will have samples of rum available in purchased shot glasses. We're hoping to have a couple of other cool things like ice cream made with Siesta Key Spiced rum!

The tours are free. It takes about 40 minutes depending on questions, etc. It will include an explanation of our equipment and the rum making process.

At the end of the tour you can purchase commemorative Siesta Key rum shot glasses for $2 each. We will put complimentary .5 oz samples of our rums into each of them if you'd like. We also have cool t-shirts & hats available to show your SK rum love. 

 

The Rums

We will have samples of our Gold, Spiced, & Silver rums available in your purchased Siesta Key Rum shot glasses. We will also have samples of some rums that you cannot buy in stores. These may include samples from the first batches of each type and yet to be released blends such as our Distiller's Reserve Spiced rum.

Bottles of our rums are available for purchase in the gift shop. The Founder/Distiller will be available to sign your bottles all day.

The Location

The Siesta Key rum distillery is located on the north side of Sarasota in a rather ordinary looking industrial park. But don't let that fool you. The sugarcane growing by the parking lot is just a hint of the tropical distilling paradise that lies inside!

The address is:

2212 Industrial Blvd.
Sarasota, FL 34234

We are currently only open to the public during tour times but expect to have regular hours for our gift shop later in the fall.
