shoptom Posted August 13, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Does anyone know of any discount coupons for John Watling’s Distillery in Nassau please? Either at the port tourist brochure area or the Royal Caribbean VIP shopping card, etc. I'm also looking for confirmation that they only have the full size bottles when I am after some kind of gift sets please. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicstress Posted August 19, 2018 #3 Share Posted August 19, 2018 The tour is free, you pay for drinks in the cafe and it is cheap. I doubt they have discounts. Yes you can buy bottles of any rum plus they have a wide selection of branded merch. Sent from my PH-1 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoptom Posted September 1, 2018 Author #5 Share Posted September 1, 2018 I'm the OP and just completed my cruise. I never found coupons, but if you buy two or more bottles of rum, they give you a 10% discount. They only had full size bottles, including a single barrel not on their site, and other bar ware souvenirs like glasses. The eight minute tour is free including a sample of pina colada which was 2/$19 full size afterwards. We leisurely walked from our room at the farthest dock to the queen's staircase and then across to the distillery looking at other landmarks along the way. It was about 6 miles (13000 steps) along sidewalks and seemed flat to us. My favorite part was the three different bus groups that came in and left all while we sat there relaxing with our cool drinks. I'll answer any other questions I can for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOSKI Posted September 4, 2018 #6 Share Posted September 4, 2018 What were the rum prices and was it really good? I plan on heading here and hubby may join me if the walk is easy. Can we bring the kids along for the tour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoptom Posted September 4, 2018 Author #7 Share Posted September 4, 2018 The rum varieties were roughly $25/$45/$65/$105, vodka $25. I think it is much better than mass produced Bacardi or Captain Morgan, etc. The Piña colada definitely hit the spot on a hot day! The direct walk should be 1 mile or twenty minutes each way. You can adjust it slightly to pass churches or other old buildings including Graycliff chocolate/cigars. The tour is short, basic information and overlook the production room so kids are fine. Some people took a taxi over and walked back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRF Posted September 4, 2018 #8 Share Posted September 4, 2018 The rum is quite good. I agree, better than the typical mass market brands. We were there 2 weeks ago. The prices were a bit lower. I paid $34 for a bottle of their amber with VAT. I think the total for a bottle of amber and Buena Vista (aged 5 years, and 2nd highest price) was $88 with VAT. They have a rum tasting in the bar, either 3 or 4 (the 4th being the single barrel). The pours are generous, so it is easy to share with two people. The cocktails are great. We ended up having 4 (split between us), as we had 2, then figured out that the menu had a back side. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcc4au Posted November 8, 2018 #9 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Would you happen to know if children can do the tour? Obviously, no drinking but my 12yo will be with us and I didn't know if this would be something I'd have to do alone (hubs doesn't drink) or if she could enjoy the quick tour as well. Thanks for the details above! I'm looking forward to buying a couple bottles to bring home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoptom Posted November 21, 2018 Author #10 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Kids are fine, the free tour is just a few minutes that ends in the gift shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
