Bellevue Distillery 1/11/23 Marie Galante (Guadeloupe)

We made sure to go to the working distillery, Bellevue, before 1p when they closed.  We have found that many shops and stores close at 1p.  Some of these stores open up again at 3p or 4p, and some do not. 

Windmill at Bellevue Distillery

The Bellevue Distillery had an old windmill on the property with the cloth fans attached so that we could see what it looked like when it was working.  It was very picturesque.  We also climbed a metal walkway to see the big vats that they used to make the rum.  The entire site was quite interesting.

On our way out, they had someone serving samples of the rum that they made onsite.  They had plain rum as well as mixers already containing rum.  I really liked the mixers and bought two different flavors – planters punch as well as pineapple.  Steve bought a honey rum.
