British Virgin Islands / Rum

There are no large-scale distilleries in the BVI any more, but there is a small producer on Tortola called Sebastian’s, which produces a rich rum, like a liqueur. It is available in most bars around the islands. The small Callwood distillery in Cane Garden Bay produces a fairly rough and ready white rum for local consumption.

A rum branded as being from the British Virgin Islands is Pussers, the key ingredient of the “BVI drink”, the Painkiller. In fact the rum is distilled in the United States and then bottled to be sold as Pussers. Pussers also has a series of mock-nautical bars on Tortola.
