Nice little museum to learn a bit of the rum production on the island. It is not sooo much to see and experience, it is more about reading the provided information. Good tasting and shop at the end of the tour.

Bery nice execution of a museum / guided tour rum distillery. You can learn a lot about rhum, sugar cane and Réunion history. Of course there is some marketing in favour of Isautier family but that is fine.

The museum was very educational and interesting. We were able to use translation devices that translated the French into English for two euros each. Learning about how ingrained the sugar industry is in reunion island and how historically as significant things changed around the world affected how reunion ran and managed things was surprising. Especially learning about slavery (volunteer labour) and then indentured workers which didn’t surprise me. But the sugar industry still prevailed. There were so many flavoured rums and you get three tastings with your tour. I bought coconut rum. But I also bought a set of three rums coconut banana, sweet potato cake and peanut butter. There was also a sweet candy known as galabe which I was very keen to try and I bought a bag of sugar. This might seem strange but the sugar here is incredibly delicious and tastes different from other places around the world. Outside there was a food truck selling authentic creole food sweet potato chicken and bean sprouts and this very tasty sausage all with rice and beans. I also took a little video of the sugar cane growing. The sugar cane season is between July and December. The cookies are a sugar cookie made with locally grown turmeric. Very tasty.
