Copal Tree Distillery

In July 2018, Copal Tree Distillery began producing Copalli Rum, supporting sustainable agriculture in Southern Belize. Located next to the lodge and its organic farm, the distillery creates premium organic rum in an eco-conscious facility using native heirloom sugarcane.

Our offerings include Copalli White, Cacao, Barrel Rested & 5-Year Aged Rums. White Rum is aged in stainless steel for six months, Cacao Rum is infused with roasted cacao nibs, and Barrel Rested Rum is aged in bourbon barrels for six to eight months.

Copalli Rum is available at our on-site Rum Bar, included in the Farm-to-Table All-Inclusive Package, and can also be purchased at our fly and gift shop. Guests can explore the Copal Tree Distillery on a rum tour and elevate their experience with a Cocktail Mixology class. Discover the full range of flavors the jungle has to offer.
