The Brand
Rosalie Bay Distillery
Rosalie Bay
Rosalie Bay Distillery calls itself the world's only conservation distillery. Based in Rosalie Bay on the east coast of Dominica, it is run as a non-profit, and 100% of revenue goes back into ocean conservation work on the island, including sea turtle protection, coral reef restoration, and whale research. Every bottle is traceable from the sugar cane farms that supply it through to the conservation funding it generates. Production is intentionally small, a few thousand bottles a year, and the distillery itself is carbon-negative: bagasse left over from pressing cane is composted into fertilizer and experimental biochar, and wastewater from distillation is treated on-site and reused as irrigation water for local farms. All of the sugar cane is grown within an hour of the distillery, and the team is entirely local to Dominica.

Founder Jacob Levenson describes himself as a data geek. Before starting Rosalie Bay, he worked with aquariums, where he developed skills managing fluids, treating waste, and handling complex plumbing systems, experience that carried over directly into building a distillery designed around water reuse and waste reduction.
How It's Made
Rosalie Bay ferments pure, hand-harvested cane juice from Dominica's Nature Isle and distills it in a modified column-pot still, with no additives. The distillery is housed in a hurricane-resistant building and also ages select batches in ex-bourbon casks. Byproducts are recirculated back into the local farming community rather than discarded: bagasse becomes compost and biochar, and treated wastewater becomes irrigation water.
Tasting Notes
Grassy, savory herbal notes typical of agricole-style cane juice rums. Easy-drinking and approachable enough to sip neat or use in cocktails.
