Rum & spirits

The short list, verified.

Rum is St. Croix's oldest industry and the island still makes it at scale — Cruzan's family-lineage distillery on the west end, the Diageo plant that fills every bottle of Captain Morgan, and a newer distillery turning breadfruit into award-winning vodka. All three pour for visitors on weekdays; none run weekend tours, so plan a mid-week outing.
