Oxbow Rum Distillery - Baton Rouge

Such a beautiful little facility! They staff was very accommodating and we loved every minute of the tour and learning how they make the run from the ground up! Our tour guide was very friendly and personable! Would definitely go back!

The tasting with Kieth was definitely a once in a lifetime experience. Every bottle had a story, every story had an anecdote, and every anecdote had a personalized recipe with a story and a personalized setting for each recipe. Kieth definitely has a love of his craft with an even deeper appreciation for the product he was representing. Every flavor was explained, every taste was enunciated with commentary, and every cocktail was lathered in respect and love for the taste and process. Not only did Keith deliver on the front of of a tasting, he went over the history and presentation of every bottle with a brief showing of the barrel room. Kieth went above and beyond to make our experience a personal and well aquatinted friendship with the distillery, especially for people from middle Tennessee. From tasting rendezvous with his anecdotes and out tasted, to the cocktail recommendations and their vehemently palatable citrus cocktail, all brougit to me by Kieth himself. After going over his house-made ginger, simple syrup, strawberry syrup, and personalized recipes; Keith had earned himself a 5 star rating amongst any distillery connoisseur or just an out of town aficionado looking for a wonderful experience. Keith went out of his way to make our rare experience one for the books. He offered anything he could, from imagery to information. Any question was met with a response full of respect and admiration, and any compliment was met with an avenue of exploration. His personalized mixologist twist on everything we said or asked made our experience one I won’t forget. His personality made our tour and I can almost guarantee it couldn’t be matched.

Fun place, delicious rums, and creative cocktails. We enjoyed it so much on our visit to Baton Rouge, we came here twice.

Oxbow Rum Distillery was our first stop for Ladies Day Out. As soon as we arrived the gentlemen greeted us pleasantly . Our tour guide Keith was a delight and he continued with the tour even though all of the ladies were distracted by all the rum ? and the chitter-chatter did not detour him. I had the best conversation with the guy behind the bar and he answered all of our questions. We can’t wait until the temperature drops so we can come back and sit out on the nice patio area.

We only had one afternoon to spend in Baton Rouge and we pick this great distillery to tour. Keith gave us a tour of the establishment, answered our questions and educated us on the process. He made it a great experience for us. The rum was great and after our tasting we left with two different rums to bring back to Illinois Thanks!!!
