Copal Tree Distillery

In July of 2018, Copal Tree Distillery opened and began producing Copalli Rum. The farm-to-flask initiative supports sustainable agriculture causes in Southern Belize by producing and selling premium organic spirits. The distillery is located adjacent to Copal Tree Lodge and its 3,000-acre organic farm. Using that same commitment to the local ecosystem, Copalli Rum is created in a zero-impact facility using a non-hybridized sugarcane varietal native to the area.

Copalli White, Cacao and Barrel Rested Rums use only heirloom sugarcane, pure canopy water, and yeast. The white rum is a blend of pot and column still rum that rests in stainless steel for about six months. The Cacao is made by infusing organic, roasted cacao nibs in the white rum for several weeks, followed by an additional distillation. The barrel-rested rum comes exclusively from the pot still and is “rested” for six to eight months in bourbon barrels.

Copalli Rum is always stocked at the on-site Rum Bar, and is included in the Farm-to-Table All Inclusive Package. Guests seeking a spirits-driven experience in the jungle can head over to the Copal Tree Distillery for a rum tour to get a true taste of Belize. Take the knowledge you gained from the rum tour to a Cocktail Mixology class to fully elevate your palette. There’s so much the jungle has to offer, so come discover it all for yourself.
