It's been a few years since my brother and I visited the distillery.
We don't get up to "the Park" end of Bonaire much, we're too focused on the diving, but we have enjoyed Washington Slagbai and Rincon in the past.
We liked a rum that we have only seen on Bonaire, and only as we hit the "DutyFree" shop, as we killed time exiting Bonaire at BON. The bottle was named something simple, like Rum Bonaire. It had a logo showing an image of downtown Kralendijk.
That was a very smooth, very satisfying rum.
It was not available the last time we visited. Just pre-Covid.

I agree the distillery is worth a visit.Have not read this entire thread...... but will say that any of this group that is on this 2024 Bonaire "surge" should definitely take the time to visit the Cadushy distillery in Rincon. Once you've passed the north "point of no return" ......you basically need to go through Rincon anyway. It's a fully interactive tour with plenty of "free" tastings and a detailed description of the "process" and totally worth the overall experience.
The Cadushy Distillery | The Spirit of Bonaire
In the center of Rincón lies The Cadushy Distillery, a 1500 square meter mecca for the adventurous drinker and curious traveler.www.cadushy.com
By the way there is a dirt road cut off that avoids Rincon. Its rough and steep and if you're not careful and the tailgate of your truck is prone to falling open you could spread scuba gear for 100 yards going up the hill.
I think I know someone that happened to.

Its been quite a few years since I dove inside the park. But it wasn't required last time I did.Question for anyone or everyone. Stinapa now requires a deployed SMB; This is new?
“Surface Marker Buoy: Make use of a Surface Marker Buoy at all times. This serves as a visual indicator of your presence. “. This is one of the diving rules from Stinapa.
