Cadushy Distillery: Taste the Spirit of Bonaire Guide

Welcome to the Cadushy Distillery, Bonaire's only distillery and a truly unique experience! Forget your typical rum and vodka – here, they craft liqueurs and whiskeys from the island's own cacti. It's a fascinating blend of tradition, innovation, and a whole lot of prickly pear. Prepare for a tasting adventure unlike any other, surrounded by the vibrant colors and laid-back atmosphere of a true Caribbean gem. The distillery is relatively young, but the concept is rooted in Bonaire's history of resourcefulness. Faced with a harsh, arid landscape, the islanders learned to utilize everything available to them. The Cadushy Distillery takes this spirit of innovation and applies it to crafting unique spirits. They use the local Cadushy cactus, along with other native plants, to create their signature liqueurs. The process is fascinating to witness, and the passion of the distillers is evident in every bottle. A visit to Cadushy Distillery is more than just a tasting; it's an experience. Take a tour to learn about the distilling process, from cactus to bottle. Sample their range of liqueurs, each with its own distinct flavor profile – from the sweet and fruity Cadushy to the spicy and complex Cochineal. Don't forget to try their unique cactus whiskey! You can also relax in their beautiful courtyard, enjoy a refreshing cocktail, and soak up the Bonairean sunshine. They also offer workshops where you can learn to make your own cocktails using their unique spirits. And of course, you can purchase bottles of your favorite liqueurs to take home a taste of Bonaire.
